Operating/Installation Instructions
Step 3
Testing the Alarm
The test button has three purposes. It tests the unit's
electronics, resets the alarm and activates the peak level
memory (See page 16).
CAUTION:
Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the
alarm, always stand an arms length away from the
unit when testing.
* To test: Press the test/reset button for five
seconds and a series of beeps will sound, followed
by the message "Fire! Fire!", then another two series
of beeps and the message "Warning! Carbon
Monoxide", followed by 4 additional short
beeps.
• Reset:
If the the Smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a CO
alarm, pressing the test/reset button will silence the
alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert con
tinues, the alarm will reactivate. Reactivation times
depend on the amount of CO present. See page 19.
• Peak Level Memory:
If 8 chirps are made when
pushing the test/reset button, the unit has detected
a CO level of 100 PPM or greater.
The unit needs to be tested weekly!
If at anytime it
does not perform as described, verify the three batteries
are installed correctly and that they don't need replacing.
Clean dust and other buildup off the unit. If it still doesn't
operate properly call the Consumer Hotline at 1-800-880-
6788.
