Testing
WARNING: Do not attempt to test this unit with retail “canned smoke” products.
Those products are intended for use by trained professionals and produce incon-
sistent results when misused. Over-application of canned smoke can permanently
damage the alarm.
Self-Testing
This model is equipped with internal, self-testing components that are always
checking to ensure the device is operating as expected. (Weekly manual testing is
still required. See below.)
Manual Testing
NOTE:
When pushing the Test button, use only your finger or thumb. Using any
other instrument(s) (such as a broom handle) is strictly prohibited, as it may damage
the alarm.
Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the button quickly. A quick beep
will confirm the button has been pushed followed by the test sequence. See Other
Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm will sound if the electronic cir-
cuitry, horn, and batteries are working. If the alarm does not sound, or gives erratic
or low volume sound, the unit must be replaced.
WARNING: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS STAND
ABOUT 0.7 M 2.5 FT AWAY FROM THE UNIT OR USE EAR PROTECTION WHEN
TESTING.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST YOUR ALARM,
YOU COULD DAMAGE THE ALARM OR IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
AND START A STRUCTURE FIRE.
Chirping
When End of Unit Life or Low Battery chirping begins, you can temporarily silence
these chirps by pressing the button. Other fault/error chirps cannot be silenced.
Take appropriate action as described in the Troubleshooting Guide.
WARNING: REPLACE UNIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN IN END OF
UNIT LIFE MODE. SEVEN 7 DAYS AFTER END OF UNIT LIFE BEGINS, THE
NOTIFICATIONS CANNOT BE SILENCED, AND SMOKE DETECTION CANNOT
BE GUARANTEED. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY!
