• Test alarms weekly and upon returning from
vacation or when no one has been in the

• Use testing to learn to distinguish the
difference between the smoke and CO
alarm patterns.
Test all combination alarms weekly by doing
the following:
• Make sure the BLUE and RED lights are blink-
ing once per minute. This indicates the unit is
functioning properly and is checking for
hazardous smoke and CO levels.
• Check that the GREEN light is lit. A constant
green light indicates the smoke and CO alarm
is receiving 120V AC power. No GREEN light
indicates no AC power or unit is operating on
battery power.
• Test one specific smoke and CO alarm (local
test), or test unit and all interconnected smoke,
CO, or combination smoke-CO alarms (inter-
connect test). We recommend a full intercon-
nected test weekly on each and every smoke,

your residence.

beeps mean you will hear an alarm from two or

Button and move away from the alarm.
The combination alarm will test each of its
smoke and CO sensors and provide a series
of audible and visual signals to let you know
your unit is functioning correctly.

Horn Ramp-up. Alarm sounds a series of short
beeps in the first four seconds, starting with
one beep, then two beeps, then three beeps.
This allows you to move away from the alarm
