9.Operation, Testing and Smoke Alarm Memory
Operation: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed and testing is complete. When products
of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85dB pulsating alarm until the air is cleared. See section Smoke
Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds.
Testing: Test by pushing the button on the cover and holding it down for a minimum of 2 seconds. This will sound
the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has a defective battery
or other failure.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.
Never use an open ame or combustible materials to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or
ignite nearby materials and start a structure re.
Smoke Alarm Memory: Alerts you if the unit has experienced a smoke alarm event while you were away, and then
the smoke has cleared. See section Other Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators.
NOTE: If at any time your alarm fails to operate correctly (erratic or low sound, for example), contact
Kidde Safety (see page 2 for contact details).
