4. Using a pen or pencil, change the switches in each of the Kidde Wireless
devices to match the pattern you selected in step 3. Ensure that the
sequence is not reversed.
5. Power each unit after setting the ID by installing the batteries. The alarms
only read the ID that has been set when they are first supplied power. Any
changes to the switch after the unit is powered will not be recognized, and
will require the power to be removed for a minimum of 30 seconds before
powering again.
6. Push and hold the test button on each unit for at least 5 seconds, or until
all the devices produce an alarm. If all the units do not produce an alarm,
refer to the trouble-shooting section at the end of the user’s guide.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arm’s
length away from the unit when testing.
7. Install the alarms in accordance with the user’s guide as described in section
1, and
repeat step 6
. Since wireless communication can be interrupted by
a number of factors, you must test your alarms weekly to ensure proper
communication between alarms.
8. Read the user’s guide and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
If your Wireless smoke alarms enter alarm mode, first check to see if
there is a fire. If a fire does not exist, and the test buttons have not
been activated on any of the units, it is likely that you are receiving
interference from a similar system nearby. In this case, repeat the above
steps and select a different dipswitch pattern, making sure to disconnect
power and remove the batteries before changing the switch positions.
