Kidde 0976CA Smoke Alarm User Manual


 
Testing
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always
stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.
Test by pushing the Test button on the cover and hold it
down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the
alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are
working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has a defective
battery or some other failure. DO NOT use an open flame
to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite
combustible materials and start a fire.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a
defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see
Warranty section).
Alarm Removal
To remove the alarm from the mounting plate, rotate the
alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover.
