indicate the following:
GREEN LED
Constant on — AC power is present.
OFF — AC power is not present.
RED LED can be seen through the Push-to-Test button.
Blinks once a minute — indicates presence of a working battery.
Blinks once a second — heat alarm senses heat and simultaneously
OFF — DC power is not present.

the network has sensed smoke or heat.
!
• Test each heat alarm and smoke alarm in the network to be sure it is
installed correctly and operating properly.
• Stand at arm's length from the heat alarm when testing. The alarm horn
is loud to alert you to an emergency and can be harmful to hearing.
• Test heat alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation or when no
one has been in the household for several days.
Test all heat alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Observe the green LED. A constant green light indicates the heat alarm
is receiving 120V AC power.
2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five (5) seconds. The
heat alarm will sound a loud beep about 4 times a second. The alarm
may sound for up to 10 seconds after releasing the Push-to-Test but-
ton. NOTE: If heat alarms are interconnected, all heat alarms should
sounds an audible alarm.
