LED INDICATOR: This smoke alarm is equipped with a red LED 
indicator. The red LED is located under the test button and has 
several modes of operation.

Standby Condition:

 

The red LED will flash every 45 

 

seconds to indicate that the smoke 

 

alarm is operating properly.

Alarm Condition:

 

When the alarm senses products of 

 

combustion and goes into alarm, the 

 

red LED will flash rapidly (once every 

 

second). The rapid flashing LED 

 

and temporal alarm will continue 

 

until the air is cleared.

Hush Condition:

 

The red LED will flash every 10 seconds 

 

as long as the alarm is in Hush mode.

Low Battery Condition:

 The red LED flash will be accompanied 

 

by an audible chirp. Replace the battery 

 

when this condition occurs.

SMOKE SENSING CHAMBER OPERATION: This alarm will “chirp” 
if any of the components in the smoke sensing chamber fail. This 
chirp will occur between the flashes of the red LED indicator light. 
(If the chirp occurs at the same time as the red LED flash, see sec-
tion 6 for low battery information).

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold 
it down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm 
if the electronic circuitry and 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 
alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. 
Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a 
defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see section 
12).

NOTE:  WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
