If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control and
continues to sound its loud alarm horn or if it initially goes into False
Alarm Control then resounds the alarm, the smoke is too heavy and
could be a possibly dangerous situation— take emergency action.
TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM
WARNING
•
Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed correctly and
operating properly.
•
Test all smoke alarms in an interconnected system after installa-
tion.
•
The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all functions. DO NOT
use an open flame to test this smoke alarm. You may ignite and
damage the smoke alarm or your home.
•
Test smoke alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation or
when no one has been in the household for several days.
•
Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when testing. The
alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency and can be
harmful to hearing.
Test all smoke alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Observe the green LED. A constant green light indicates the
smoke alarm is receiving 120V AC power.
2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five (5) sec-
onds. The smoke alarm will sound 3 short beeps followed by a
2-second pause and then repeats. The alarm may sound for
up to 10 seconds after releasing the Push-to-Test button.
NOTE: If smoke alarms are interconnected, all smoke alarms
should sound an alarm within three seconds after any test
button is pushed and the tested smoke alarm sounds.
3. If smoke alarm does not sound, turn off power at main fuse
box or circuit breaker and check wiring. Retest smoke alarm.
REPLACE OR RETURN THE ALARM IF THE PUSH-TO-TEST
FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER FOL-
LOWING THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE (see REPAIR
on page 7).
DANGER: If alarm horn sounds, and smoke alarm is not
being tested, the smoke alarm is sensing
smoke. THE SOUND OF THE ALARM HORN
REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
AND ACTION.
