QUICK FIND

® Alarm Origination/Location Feature: The QUICK FIND® feature will allow you to immediately locate the originating alarm (the alarm 

that triggered the other alarms), once the alarms have stopped sounding.
1. Press and release the Test button on any alarm. After releasing the button, the test sequence on this alarm will begin, and last approximately  

    5-20 seconds.  
2. Once this test sequence ends, the originating alarm continues to sound for approximately 60 seconds, which provides ample time to locate the 

    originating alarm.  
3. Remember to reset the originating alarm in order to clear the QUICK FIND® and return the system to normal operation.  

NOTE:

 If you have any additional questions about the operation of Model MIC1509S, please contact our Customer Service Department at  

800-390-4321, and we will gladly assist you.

Quick Find® Alarm Origination - In an intercon-

nected system it is difficult to determine which 

alarm initiated the alarms to sound. The Quick 

Find® feature will allow you to immediately 

locate the originating alarm (once the alarms 

have stopped sounding). To initiate Quick 

Find® press the Test button on any alarm. 

After releasing the button and following the test 

sequence, the originating alarm will continue 

to sound for approximately 60 seconds. In a 

non-interconnected installation, it is necessary 

to test each alarm to determine the originating 

alarm.

An interconnected CO alarm has sensed CO 

causing all interconnected alarms to sound. If 

hazard is identified please take all precautions 

if an alarm sounds by calling  Emergency 

Service and getting out of the home. 

The CO alarm Silence Feature can be 

activated by pressing and releasing the Silence 

button on the initiating alarm while in alarm 

condition. The alarm will remain silent for ap-

prox 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.
