Silence feature
- This feature can be used to silence nuisance alarms. Press

minutes. If the CO surrounding level reaches 200 ppm, the alarm will reacti-
vate. Observe that the Red LED repeatedly series 4 flashes during hush model
last for 4 minutes. The unit will automatically return to normal mode after 4
minutes. If the concentration is increased, the silencer (hush) feature is by pass

activate. The user must be aware that if the alarms continually after push the
silence button, the CO concentration surrounding the alarm could be 200 ppm
or greater. Always determine why the alarm has been trigged before using the
silence feature. If the case of alarm is not clear, assure that there is an actual
