IMPORTANT: If premises are unoccupied for a period of time (more than a few days) then a battery test should be
undertaken upon return. If the low battery warning sounds, test and replace the battery if necessary.
Never use an open flame of any type to test your alarm. Check that all interlinked smoke alarms operate during
the test.
Hush
This smoke alarm has a built-in Hush feature incorporated into the Test button. If cooking or other non-hazardous
sources cause the alarm to sound, it can be temporarily silenced by pressing the Test+Hush button. The alarm then
enters a low sensitivity period for 9mins. If the smoke density increases during this period from a smoke or fire
event, the unit will go into alarm mode.
Before using the alarm HUSH feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that a safe condition exists.
Replacing the Smoke Alarm Backup Battery
The backup power to the smoke alarm is supplied by two AA 1.5VDC alkaline
batteries, located in the bottom battery bay of the smoke alarm. The batteries
should last a minimum of 5 years under normal operating conditions. An audible
chirp once per minute indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Pressing
the Test+Hush button will silence the low battery chirp for up to 8 hours. It is
recommended to replace the batteries on a memorable day eg 1st April, April
Fool’s Day.
RECOMMENDED BATTERIES: Energizer E91, Duracell MN1500, Fujitsu LR6
