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.
4. OPERATION AND TESTING
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 10
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 the red LED will flash every 10 seconds
for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a
temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automati-
cally reset after approximately 10 minutes, and sound the alarm if
smoke is still present. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE,
IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A
SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
