manual abstract
All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”). IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS RESPONDING TO AN ALARM During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. • ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Attempting to disconnect the power connector from the unit when the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death. When an interconnected system of AC powered units is in alarm, the alarm indicator light on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will blink rapidly. It will remain OFF on any remaining units. If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire— cooking smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and fan the smoke away from the unit. Use the Silence Feature to silence the alarm. This will silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset itself automatically. WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE • Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan. • Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything. • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them. • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths. • Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely. • Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name. • Never go back inside a burning building for any reason. • Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer. Alarms have various limitations. See "Limitations of Smoke Alarms" for details. USING THE SILENCE FEATURE The Silence Feature on this unit can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 10 minutes. The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, the unit will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alarm. Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death. If the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be replaced immediately. To silence Smoke Alarms in an interconnected series: 1. To silence multiple alarms in an interconnected series, you must press the Test/Silence button on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm. NOTE: The red LED on the initiating alarm will flash rapidly. The red LED will be Off on all other non-initiating alarms. No audible sound will be heard. The unit will exit “silence mode” in approximately 10 minutes. 2. While the unit is in “silence mode”, pressing and holding the Test/Silence button for approximately 10 seconds will test the unit. After testing, the unit will re-enter “silence mode” and the 10-minute timer is reset.

After smoke levels drop below alarm levels, the green LED will be On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds, repeatedly. This feature helps emergency responders, investigators, or service technicians identify which unit(s) in your home were exposed to alarm levels of smoke after the condition has subsided. The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until you reset it by pressing the Test/Silence button. The Latching Alarm Indicator is also reset when AC and DC power is removed from the Alarm. IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or weak batteries, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,” and install a fresh battery, then test the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the Test/Silence button, or if the problem persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately. • If you hear a “chirp” once a minute, replace the battery. • If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm. • If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty. • If the alarm does not sound during testing, make sure it is receiving AC power from the household current. Always di...
