AMBIENT LIGHT SENSING
In low light ambient conditions, the green LED ring fades to off, and then blinks approx every 60 seconds. This
unit samples the ambient light conditions of the alarm’s location and, if possible, determines a Night / Day
cycle. A valid Night / Day cycle will delay unit chirps during the night until the next Day cycle begins.
CHIRPING
When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Unit Life chirps by
pressing the Test/Hush button. Low Battery chirps cannot be silenced.
If a valid Night / Day cycle has not been established because the unit is located in either a constantly dark or
lighted location, the chirps mentioned above will not be delayed at night. Moving the unit to a different location
might allow the unit to determine a valid Night / Day cycle.
WARNING: REPLACE UNIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN IN END OF UNIT LIFE OR LOW BATTERY MODE.
11. Recognizing Nuisance Alarms
SMOKE NUISANCE
HUSH
®
: If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verify that it is not a life threatening situation,
you can push the button on the initiating unit (green LED flashing every second) to silence the alarm for
8-10 minutes. If the smoke is not too dense, that unit, and all interconnected units will silence. After the Hush
®
period, the smoke alarm will automatically reset and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still
present. You can use Hush
®
repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override Hush
®
and sound a continuous alarm. If no fire is present, check to
see if one of the reasons listed in Section 8. LOCATIONS TO AVOID may have caused the alarm. If a
fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department.
This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm,
unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if
it is located too close to a cooking appliance.
