FUNCTION TEST AND OPERATING MODES
Test Device
Test your device by pressing and holding the test button for min. 5 sec. This
will sound an alarm if the electronic circuitry, siren and battery are working. If
no alarm sounds, the unit or batteries may be defective. DO NOT use an open
flame to test your alarm, this may damage the unit. We recommend that you
test the unit weekly.
Standby Mode
The red LED on the front panel should flash every 32 seconds to indicate that
the alarm is active.
Alarm Mode
As soon as the unit detects smoke particles, the siren will sound and the red
LED will flash one flash per second. The flashing LED and alarm will remain
until the air is free of smoke particles. The unit will then go back into standby
mode.
Battery Warning Mode
If your smoke detector enters a low battery condition, the unit will emit an
audible chirp every 32 seconds. In this case, you must replace the battery
immediately. If you do not replace the battery, your smoke detector may not
have enough power to warn you in a real fire situation.
Error Mode
The alarm tone or a chirp sounds every 32 seconds for no apparent reason (see
„Troubleshooting“).
