Stopping the Alarm 

 

 

 

WARNING! 

Never disable the SK2 or remove the battery to stop the alarm.

 

 

 

The SK2 turns off the alarm automatically when it no longer senses smoke. To dissipate the smoke, do 
the following: 

 

Open a window in the room where the SK2 is installed. 

 

Fan the air around the smoke alarm. 

If the alarm persists, clean the SK2. Refer to 4.2 Cleaning the SK2 on page 20. If the alarm resumes after 
the SK2 is cleaned, check if the location of the SK2 is the source of the alarm problem. 

If the location is acceptable, have the SK2 checked for any technical problems.
