The Hush
®
feature can be used repeatedly until the air
has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
While the unit is in Hush
®
mode, pushing the
Test/Reset/Hush
®
button on the alarm will also end the
Hush
®
period.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush
®
control
feature and sound a continuous alarm.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm Hush
®
feature,
identify the source of the smoke and be certain a safe
condition exists.
Reset Feature
If the the Smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a CO alarm,
pressing the Test/Reset/Hush
®
button will silence the
alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert
continues, the alarm will reactivate. Reactivation times
depend on the amount of CO present (see Page 24).
Peak Level Memory
If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 100 PPM
or higher since last reset, it will be recorded by the
Peak Level Memory function. To access the Peak Level
Memory, press the Test/Reset/Hush
®
button. If a
reading of 100 PPM or higher has been recorded, the
unit will announce, "Caution! Attention!" If you’ve
been away from home, this feature allows you to
check if there was a CO reading of 100 or higher
during your absence. Pushing the Test/Reset/Hush
®
button resets the memory. The memory is also reset
when the unit loses power.

(HD135F) are interconnected to this alarm, they will
only respond to a smoke related event.

backup (1275CA, 1285CA, PE120CA, PI2000CA,
HD135F, KN-COSM-IBCA) with models without
battery backup (1235CA, KN-COSM-ICA), be advised

Hush
®
Control Feature
The Hush
®
feature has the capability of temporarily
desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for about
10 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a
known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking,
activates the alarm. You can put the Smoke/CO Alarm
in Hush
®
mode by pushing the Test/Reset/Hush
®
button. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will
silence immediately, verbally announce, "Hush
®
mode
on! Mode Hush
®
activé!", and the green LED will flash
every 2 seconds for approximately 10 minutes. This
indicates that the smoke alarm is in a temporarily
desensitized condition. The alarm will automatically
reset after approximately 10 minutes. When the unit
returns to normal operation after being in Hush
®
mode, it will verbally announce, "Hush
®
mode
cancelled! Mode Hush
®
annulé!" and sound the alarm
if smoke is still present.
