Operation
Testing
Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the
Test button for at least 5 seconds (or until the unit
sounds). This will sound the alarm if the electronic
circuitry, horn, and battery are working. If no alarm
sounds, the unit has a defective battery 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 fire.
CAUTION:
Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the
alarm, always stand an arms-length away from the unit
when testing.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a
defective alarm (see Warranty section).
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
