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
15).
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 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 continues, the
alarm will reactivate. Reactivation times depend on the
amount
• 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 0800 917 0722 (Monday to Friday
9am - 5pm)
