Model RF-SM-ACDC has a HUSH
®
button that is extremely useful in a kitchen
area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information, refer to
Section 4 OPERATION AND TESTING. If the alarm does sound, check for fires
first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire is pres-
ent, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the
alarm.
In rare occasions, interference from other electronic devices may cause nuisance
alarms. If you do get nuisance alarms, please refer to the trouble-shooting guide
at the end of this and each of your Kidde Wireless products’ user’s guides.
6. MAINTENANCE
ALARM REMOVAL
IF THE SMOKE ALARM’S TAMPER RESIST FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED,
REFER TO THE PARAGRAPH ON SMOKE ALARM TAMPER RESIST FEATURE
IN SECTION 3 FOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.
To remove the alarm from the trim ring, rotate the alarm counter clockwise in
the direction of the "OFF" arrow on the cover. To disconnect the AC power,
squeeze the locking arms on the sides of the AC Quick Connector while pulling
the connector away from the bottom of the alarm (see Section 3, Figure 3).
ALARM REPLACEMENT
Ten years after initial power-up, this unit will “chirp” every 30 seconds to indi-
cate that it is time to replace the alarm. A label has been provided on the side
of the alarm that has “Replace by” printed on it. Write the replace by date on
the label. The date written on the label should be after ten (10) years of cumu-
lative power. NOTE: Chirping once a minute is an indication of a low battery
where as the indication for replacement is once every 30 seconds.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
