8.5 | HALO KEY FEATURES
8.5.1 | Accent Light
The accent light feature is available via the Halo app. Once the Halo has been set up, you can turn the accent
light on and off, customize the colors (red not available per safety requirements), vary the brightness and set a
timer to shut off in 15 or 30 minutes.
8.5.2 | Testing Feature
Even though Halo does perform continuous auto-tests on its sensors, Halo Smart Labs suggests you perform a
manual test of your Halo weekly. During a test, Halo will check its sensors, power, emergency alarm, lights, and
speaker. When you commence a test, Halo will provide you with a countdown before beginning the test. The
alarm will sound and it will be loud, so always stand an arm’s length away from the unit when testing.
During your manual test:
1. You will hear the following sequence:
“Starting self-test. Press to cancel. Halo will alarm. The alarm is loud. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”
2. Ensure that the alarm sounds and the LED lights illuminate properly.
3. Once the Halo has finish the test, it will inform you about the results. Halo will flash green if the test
was successfully passed.
WARNING!
• DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may harm your
hearing. Always stand at arm’s length from the unit when testing.
• If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, contact Halo Support at (888) 434-HALO (4256).
• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test your Halo. You might accidently damage or set fire to
the unit or to your house.
• NEVER use vehicle exhaust to test your CO alarm! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and will
void your warranty.
• DO NOT use a match, cigarette or any other makeshift fire to test the smoke alarm.
