4. OPERATION AND TESTING
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is
installed and testing is complete. When products of combustion
are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the
air is cleared.
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of tem-
porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 7 minutes.
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition,
such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke
alarm is desensitized by pushing the “HUSH” button on the smoke
alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence
immediately and “chirp” every 30-40 seconds for approximately 7
minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily desensi-
tized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after
approximately 7 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of com-
bustion are still present. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeat-
edly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the
alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will end the
hush period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDEN-
TIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE
CONDITION EXISTS.
FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flash-
ing red indicator light. The light is located under the test button
and will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the smoke
alarm is receiving power.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding
it down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm if
the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working. If no alarm
sounds, the unit has defective batteries or other failure. DO NOT
use an open flame to test your alarm, you could damage the
