ALARM MODE: When a concentration of smoke is detected, the smoke alarm will go into ‘Alarm Mode’. It will sound the alarm signal and the LED will flash. The smoke alarm will also transmit the alarm signal to the other connected alarms, which will also sound the alarm signal after a short delay.
PAUSE/HUSH FUNCTION: If the smoke alarms are to set into a false alarm by cooking, fireplace, etc. they can be paused for 10 minutes by pressing the test button on the originating smoke alarm only (indicated by the flashing LED). The reason of this is that it is necessary to locate the source of the alarm before using the hush function.
