Identification and Safety
Testing Procedure
DO NOT STAND CLOSE TO THE ALARM WHEN THE
HORN IS SOUNDING. Exposure at close range may be
harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when
the horn starts sounding.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST
THIS UNIT. The built-in test switch accurately tests the
unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL).
It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the
test button is the recommended way to test this Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the test
button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds (the unit may continue to alarm
for a few seconds after you release the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the
unit is receiving power and test it again. If it still does not alarm, replace it immediately.
During testing you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps,
pause; and the Red LED will flash rapidly.
Note:
If the unit does not alarm, make sure the batteries are correctly
installed and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it
immediately.
This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but there are a
few simple things you must do to keep it working properly. Use only the replacement
batteries listed below. The unit may not operate properly with other batteries. Never
use rechargeable batteries since they may not provide a constant charge.
•
Test it at least once a week.
•
Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the
Smoke Alarm using your house hold vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the
Smoke Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the
unit.
•
If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime,
and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.
•
Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See product manual
under “Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” for details.
•
When the battery becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm unit will “chirp” about once a
minute. This low battery warning should last 7 days, but you should replace the
battery immediately to continue your protection.
Note: If locking pin is engaged see "Locking Feature" section for unlocking instructions.
Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are
acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready
(Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for
longer service life between battery changes.
