Condition:

 Smoke alarm when cause of alarm is known and

poses no threat.

Recommendation:

 The smoke alarm Silence Feature can

be activated by pressing and releasing the Test/Silence button
on the initiating alarm while in alarm condition. Silence mode
will last for approx. 8-12 minutes (with the red LED blinking on
approx. every 10 seconds).

Condition:

 CO alarm when cause of alarm is known and

poses no threat.

Recommendation:

 The CO alarm Silence Feature can be

activated by pressing and releasing the Test/CO Silence button
on the initiating alarm while in alarm condition. The alarm will
remain silent for approx. 5 minutes (with the red LED blinking
on approx. every 10 seconds), depending on the level of CO
detected. If CO levels drop below alarm levels, the alarm will
remain silent and return to normal operation. If CO levels
remain constant or increase, this indicates a potentially dangerous
situation and the horn will sound again. Ventilate area.

Condition:

 One or more alarms not responding to

interconnected alarm.

Recommendation:

 Press and hold the smoke alarm Test/

Silence button for at least 5 seconds. If still no alarm, turn off
AC Power at the circuit breaker or fuse box and disconnect
the alarm from the mounting bracket and make sure the
connector plug is securely attached on units that did not alarm.
If still no alarm, have a licensed electrician make sure the
yellow wire is not mistakenly or accidentally connected to the
white (neutral) wire.
