Quick Check Procedure
1. No External Power Alarm Check
o Disconnect the A.C. power supply. Verify that there is an audible
alarm and the alarm LEDs in the HT70 handle flash. Verify that
the Ext. Power LED turns off, and the Message Area turns yellow

HT70 continues to ventilate.

lights yellow, the audible alarm is muted and the message area
returns to black.

the Alarm Silence/Reset button to clear the alarm message.
