Stopping the Alarm
WARNING!
Never disable the SK or remove the battery to stop the alarm.
The SK turns off the alarm automatically when it no longer senses smoke. The key to stopping the
alarm is to eliminate the smoke around the SK.
To help dissipate the smoke, do the following
Open a window (s) in the room where the SK is installed.
Fan the air around the SK.
If the alarm persists, clean the SK. Refer to 5.2 Cleaning the SK on page 20.
If the alarm resumes after the SK is cleaned, verify that the location of the SK is the source of the alarm
problem.
If the location is acceptable, have the SK checked for any technical problems.
WARNING!
Do not stand close to the SK when the alarm sounds. Too much
exposure to the buzzer at close range may be harmful to a person’s hearing.
4.5.
Silencing the Alarm
The
Silence
feature silences the alarm for five minutes. After five minutes, if the SK continues to sense
smoke, the alarm resumes.
To silence the alarm, press the
Mute
button on the SK.
