Activation And Wireless Alarm Network - Kidde P4010DCSCO-WCA User Manual

9. Activation and Wireless Alarm Network

Upon initial power being applied (from rotating onto mounting plate or moving the red activation wheel
to the "ON" position - see Figure 9.1-B) these units are ready to connect to a network.
note:
At any time during wireless alarm network setup, if you have a problem, you can push and hold
the Test/Hush button on any problem unit until you hear three (3) beeps (approx 8 sec), and then release
the button. The unit will reset the unit's wireless settings (described in Section 9.3). Once wireless network
settings are reset, the unit will prompt the user to follow Quickstart instructions.
note:
Wireless units will emit a series of LED blinks, tones, and voices as the unit(s) search for a wireless
alarm network. If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these
notifications, and the wireless function will turn off in about 15 minutes. You can turn the wireless
function on again at a later date if desired. See Section 9.2.
note:
The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off,
and can only be discharged at the end of unit life. If the alarm is removed from the mounting plate, the
backup battery will remain active. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section.
