TESTING
Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the test button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button
has been pushed followed by voice prompts that will inform you of the upcoming test sequence. See Other
Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table.
The alarm and voice (and any interconnected units) will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, speaker, and
battery are working. If the alarm or voice does not sound, or gives erratic or low volume sound, the unit must
be replaced. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section to determine how to prepare the
unit for shipment or disposal.
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.
SMOKE/CO ALARM MEMORY
If a unit experiences a smoke or CO alarm event, then the condition clears and the unit stops alarming, the
unit will give a visual (LED) indicator that a previous alarm has occurred within the last hour. See the Other
Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table.
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.
