ALARM SMART SILENCE™
Your alarm features 'Smart Silence' technology. In the event of a known false alarm your alarm can
be temporarily silenced by pressing the central test button. Your alarm will automatically return to
full sensitivity within 10 minutes.
During the reduced sensitivity mode the red LED on your alarm will continue to flash more rapidly
than normal, approximately once every 10 seconds. Only use the alarm silence function after making
sure that there is no fire emergency situation. Do not block the vents on the alarm or disable the alarm
in any way, as this will remove your protection.
NOTE: If the level of heat / smoke reaching the alarm is very high the alarm silence will be overridden
and the alarm will continue to sound.
SLEEP EASY™
Low battery warnings often start at night or when it may be inconvenient to replace your alarm.
You can silence the audible 'low battery' chirp for a period of 8 hours by pressing the test button.
After this period the audible chirp will start again. This process can be repeated for a maximum of 10
times. Your alarm will still detect heat / smoke during this time, however you must replace your alarm
within 30 days, as it may have insufficient power to warn you of a real fire situation after this time.
WARNING: Your alarm cannot be silenced if the chirp is indicating a fault. In this instance, the unit
should be replaced immediately to ensure protection in the event of a fire.
