Hush or Silence Feature
• This smoke alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature incorporated into
the Test/Hush button.
• If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the alarm to sound, it can
be temporarily silenced by pressing the Test/Hush button for 3 seconds.
• The alarm then enters a dormant period for 10 minutes. The red LED will
flash every 10 seconds to indicate the sensitivity is reduced.
• After the 10 minute dormant period, the alarm will give two short beeps, and
the alarm will resume normal operation.
NOTE:
After the Test/Hush button has been pressed, wait 10 minutes before
any additional testing is conducted to avoid any abnormal responses as the
smoke alarm is not sensitive to smoke during this period.
NOTE:
If a nuisance alarm occurs and if there is no sign of smoke, heat or
noise to suggest a fire you should get your family to a safe place before
investigating. Check the household carefully in case there is a small fire
smouldering out of sight, or if there is another source of smoke or fumes such
as cooking fumes being drawn past a smoke alarm by an extractor.
WARNING:
If there are frequent nuisance alarms it may be necessary to
re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes. If the alarm continues
sounding nuisance alarms without smoke or heat being present; It may
require some maintenance or cleaning

OPERATION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
Operation
Normal Operation When no smoke is present, a red LED indicator will flash ONCE A
MINUTE and is an indication that the unit is operating properly.
The hush feature can mute the detector if it has been inadvertently triggered by
holding down the test/hush button for a few seconds. The smoke alarm will be muted
for 10 minutes and then reset into normal mode after this period.
NOTE: If the smoke density increases during the hush period the smoke alarm will be
triggered into sounding again.
Alarm Condition
When the unit detects smoke, the red LED indicator will flash rapidly and alarm will
sound loudly until the air is clear.
Testing the Smoke Alarm
Test the smoke alarm once a week. If the smoke alarm ever fails to test correctly,
have it replaced immediately! If the smoke alarm is not working properly, it cannot
alert you to a problem.
1. Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed correctly and operating properly.
2. The push-to-test button accurately tests functions. DO NOT use an open flame to
test this smoke alarm. You may ignite and damage the smoke alarm or your home.
3. Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when testing.
4. To test the smoke alarm firmly press the test button, and the alarm will sound a
loud beep. The alarm will stop sounding after releasing the test button. If the alarm
does not sound please re-test the alarm.
WARNING:
If the alarm sounds and the smoke alarm is not being tested, the smoke
alarm is sensing smoke. The sound of the alarm requires your immediate attention
and action.
Areas to be avoided include the following:
• Situations where the temperature may fall below 0 C or rise above 40 C
• Humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms where the
relative humidity may exceed 90%
• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window molding etc., that may
prevent smoke or heat from entering the alarm.
• Fume filled environments such as garages. Exhaust gases may cause false
alarms.
• Adjacent to or directly above hot components such as radiators or wall vents
that can affect the direction of air currents.
• In very dusty or dirty environments such as workshops.
• Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away for fluorescent
light fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may affect the unit. Do not
wire into the same circuit as fluorescent lights or dimmers.
• Do not locate in insect infested areas. Insects and contamination on the
Heat Alarm sensor can increase its response time.
