Operation

Testing
The Test/Reset button has four purposes. It tests the
unit's electronics, resets the alarm, activates the HUSH
feature and activates the Peak Level memory (See
page 16-17).
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the
alarm, always stand an arms length away from the unit
when testing.
• To test: Press and release the Test/Reset button and
4 seconds of alarm will sound, followed by the
message "Fire! Feu!", then another four short beeps
and the message "Carbon Monoxide! Monoxyde de
carbone!", followed by 4 additional short beeps.
• Reset: If the CO alarm pattern is sounding,
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 of smoke or CO
present. See page 18.
• Peak Level Memory: If 8 chirps are made when
pushing the Test/Teset button, the unit has detected
a CO level of 100 PPM or greater.
: If the smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a
• HUSH ®
smoke alarm, pressing the test/reset button will
temporarily silence the alarm. If the smoke level
continues to build, the alarm will reactivate. See
Page 16.
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.
