:  The  red  LED  will  flash  every  50 

seconds  to  indicate  that  the  smoke  alarm  is  operating 
properly. 

Alarm  Condition

:  When  the  alarm  detects  products  of 

combustion  and  goes  into  alarm,  the  red  LED  will  flash 
rapidly (one flash per second). The rapid flashing LED and 
pulsating  alarm  will  continue  until  the  air  is  cleared  or  the 
test button is released. 

Silence Condition:

 The red LED will flash every 16 seconds 

as long as the alarm is in Hush mode. 

Low  battery  trouble  indication: 

An  intermittent  “chirp” 

accompanied  by  a  red  LED  flashing  every  50  seconds 
indicates  a  low  battery,  you  may  press  the  test  button  to 
silence  the  trouble  indication  for  10  hours,  but  it  will  reset 
automatically  after 10  hours.  During  this condition  the unit 
will  continue  to  operate  normally  and  detect  smoke  and 
sound  an  alarm.  This  action  only  temporarily  silences  the 
chirp. 

As  the  battery  in  this  unit  is  replaceable.  Replace  the 

batteries.  Make  sure  to  use  Energizer  E91  or  Gold  Peak 
Group: GP 15A LR6 or Raymax: LR6 and install them in the

solutions, if the fault signal reactivates, 

you MUST replace 

the unit with a new alarm at once 

or contact you retailer 

during warranty.     

SMOKE  SENSING  CHAMBER  OPERATION:  The  alarm 
will “chirp” if any of the components in the smoke sensing 
chamber fail. This chirp will occur between the flashes of the 
red LED indicator light. (If the chirp occurs at the same time 
as  the  red  LED  flashing,  indicating  a  low  battery 
information). 

Alarm silence (silence mode): 

When the alarm sounds check for a fire first, After verifying 
that it is not a fire the alarm can be silenced by pushing the 
test button This will silence the alarm for approx 10 minutes. 
The red LED will flash once every 16 seconds indicating the 
smoke  alarm  is  in  the  silence  mode.  Smoke  alarms  are 
designed  to  minimize  nuisance  alarms,  but  combustion 
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is 
located  close  to  the  cooking  area.  To  minimize  the 
occurrence of false alarms, smoke alarms must be installed a 
minimum  of  10  feet(3  meters)  from  the  nearest  cooking 
appliance. If you accidentally let some smoke into the alarm 
cause alarm, you can open the doors and windows. Turn on 
the  fan  blew  it.  The  alarm  will  silence  (test  button)  is 
extremely  useful  in  a  kitchen  area  or  other  areas  prone  to 
nuisance alarms. The silence feature is to be used only when 
a  known  alarm  condition,  such  as  smoke  from  cooking 
activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by push 
the alarm silence (silence mode) on the smoke alarm cover, 
the  alarm  will  silence  to  indicate  that  the  alarm  is  in  a 
temporarily  desensitized  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  alarm  silencer  (silence  mode) 
can  be  repeatedly  until  the  air  has  been  cleared  of  the 
condition causing the alarm. 

CAUTION:

  Before  using  the  alarm  silence  (silence), 

identify  the  source  of  the  smoke  and  be  certain  a  safe 
condition exists. 

DANGER: 

If the alarm sounds, and it is not being tested, it 

means  the  unit  is  sensing  smoke, 

THE  SOUND  OF  THE 

ALARM  REQUIRES  YOUR  IMMEDIATE  ATTENTION  AND
