9. Operation And Testing

Operation

The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete (see "TESTING" below). When products of

combustion (smoke) are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm with voice messages. See Section 1 for alarm

signal descriptions.

Testing

Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button has

been pushed followed by the test sequence. See Other Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm

and voice will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, speaker, and battery are working. If the alarm or voice does

not sound, or gives erratic or low volume sound, the unit must be replaced. See Permanently Disable Alarm /

Discharge Battery section to determine how to prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.
