Step 3

Testing the Alarm

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the

alarm, always stand an arms length away from the unit
when testing.

After installation, TEST THE UNIT’S ELECTRONICS by pressing and
releasing the test/reset button. You will then hear the following
sequence of "beeps" and verbal warnings:
Three long beeps.
Verbal warning: "FIRE!"
Three long beeps.
Four quick beeps.
Verbal warning: “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE”
Four quick beeps
Weekly testing is required! If at anytime it does not perform as
described, verify power is connected correctly and that the
battery doesn’t need replacing. Clean dust and other buildup off
the unit. If it still doesn’t operate properly call the Product
Support Line at 1-800-880-6788.
