discovered, get out and call the fire department.
This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to
alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off
the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are
generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-
recirculating type) will also help prevent nuisance alarms from occurring by removing these combustible
products from the kitchen.

reSet:
Pushing the button during CO alarm allows the unit to reset calculations and double check for
the presence of CO. If the unit re-alarms within 6 minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly
become a dangerous situation. Move to fresh air and call 911.
Locate
In an interconnected system (all units will be alarming together), a unit that detects smoke or CO and
initiates an alarm is called the "initiating alarm unit." Initiating alarm units will be flashing the Green LED
every second during alarm. Depending on unit locations, and the location of the source of smoke or CO, it
is possible to have more than one initiating unit.
If you suspect a nuisance alarm situation, you can use this feature to help you locate the initiating alarm
unit(s) in a wireless alarm interconnect system. Push the button on any non-initiating wireless unit, and
ALL wireless units EXCEPT the initiating alarm unit(s) will silence for two minutes. You can use the LOCATE
feature repeatedly until you find the initiating alarm unit(s), or the air has been cleared of the condition
causing the alarm.
