OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery
is installed and testing is complete. When products of
combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating
alarm until the air is cleared. If there is any question as to the
cause of the alarm, it should be assumed that the alarm is due
to an actual fire and the dwelling should be evacuated
immediately.
HUSH™ CONTROL: The “HUSH™” feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitising the alarm circuit for approximately 10
minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking activates the alarm. The
smoke alarm is desensitised by pushing the “HUSH™” button
on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the
alarm will silence immediately and the red LED will flash every
10 seconds for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates that
the alarm is in a temporarily desensitised condition. The smoke
alarm will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes. If
after this period particles of combustion are still present, the
alarm will sound again. The HUSH™ feature can be used
repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition
causing the alarm.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH™
CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH™ FEATURE,
IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A
SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
