Alarms
When the detector goes into alarm, it flashes, vibrates, and produces a loud siren noise.
Depending on the type of alarm, these flashes, vibrations, and noises will be different.
NOTE: In Stealth mode the Honeywell BW Ultra only vibrates.
IMPORTANT: Regardless, when a detector goes into alarm, always take appropriate action.
Never ignore or dismiss an alarm.
Refer to this information about the different alarm types and their corresponding screens.
