Step 4:
Turn the alarm on its side so that the vents nearest the
Test/Reset button on the side of the alarm are pointing
downwards (see diagram opposite). Hold the burning cigarette
or incense stick 15-20cm (6-8 inches) below the detector, so
that the smoke moves towards the holes in the sides of the
detector.The display will indicate the amount of CO in the
smoke (it may take up to 2 minutes for a reading to be shown).
An increase in the reading on the digital display will indicate that
the sensor and electronics are working properly.
Note:
The alarm will only sound if excessive amounts of CO
are detected during this short test.
Step 5:
Put out the cigarette or incense stick by placing it into a
dish of water. Ensure that all flames have been extinguished.
Step 6:
The spray can icon will disappear after four minutes, and
the detector will return to normal monitoring mode.
Note:
If the spray can icon flashes press the Test/Reset button
once to return to ‘sensor testing’ mode.
