SOLUTION

light flashes.
Push the Smart Button to allow alarm to reset and self
test. If fault signal continues, alarm is no longer providing
protection and must be replaced.
The alarm beeps once a
minute and YELLOW
light flashes.
The battery needs to be replaced. Turn off power and
replace the battery. (See “REPLACING THE BATTERY” in
“TESTING AND MAINTENANCE”.) Push the Smart Button
to temporarily quiet the low battery signal for 10 hours.
The horn beeps once,
then two beeps, then
three beeps, pauses, and
then sounds the full
alarm when using the

The alarm is operating properly. The Firex patented Horn
Ramp-Up feature lets you start the test sequence and
move away from the unit before the full alarm horn
sounds.
Alarm sounds;
no hazard present.
Take Emergency Safety Actions in all alarm situations! If
no hazard proves to be present: Test the alarm to check
for proper functioning. Clean the alarm. (See TESTING
AND MAINTENANCE.) Check that the alarm is placed
properly. (See AGENCY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
