ALARM MEMORY: This smoke alarm has an memory function that will inform you if
the alarm has sounded since the test button was last pressed. The alarm memory will
cause the red LED to flash rapidly when the test button is pressed. The alarm memory
is reset when the test button is released.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding it down for a
minimum of 5 seconds (or until the alarm sounds). This will sound the alarm if the
electronic circuitry, horn, and batteries are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has
defective batteries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you
could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low sound com-
ing from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it should be returned for
service.
4.NUISANCE ALARMS
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not
normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close
to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from
spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside
(non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the
kitchen.
This model 0910UK has a HUSH
TM
control that is extremely useful in a kitchen area or
other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to Section 3, OPER-
ATION AND TESTING.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call
the fire service. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section
2 may have caused the alarm.

BATTERY DEACTIVATION

the life of the alarm to indicate that the alarm needs replacement. Contact the prop-
erty owner or fire brigade to replace the alarm.
