Alarm Replacement
Ten years after initial power-up, this unit will "chirp" twice
every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the
alarm. A label has been provided on the side of the alarm
that has "Replace by" printed on it. Write the replace by
date on the label. The date written on the label should be
ten (10) years after the alarm was initially powered.
This alarm does have end of life Hush ® which allows you to
silence the trouble chirp for two days giving you exrtra time
to replace the unit at a more convenient time. To activate,
press the test/reset button. While in the End of Life Hush ®
mode, will still detect CO and Smoke. This feature can only
be used for 30 days from the time the unit first indicates
end of life. At the end of the 30 day period the alarm can-
not be hushed and must be replaced immediately.
REPLACE IMMEDIATELY!
