  • Page 10: Operation

    Installation • Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into place (Image 3D). This ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment. Note: The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).
  • Page 11 Operation Hush ® Control Feature Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area.
  • Page 12 Operation LED Indicators This alarm is equipped with a red LED indicator, with two modes of operation. Red LED - Flashing every 30-40 seconds: Indicates that the smoke alarm is operating properly. Red LED - Flashing: When the smoke alarm senses particles of combustion and goes into alarm (constant pulsating sound), the red LED will flash once per second.
  • Page 13 Operation Battery Tamper Resist Feature This alarm has a battery tamper resist feature, which prevents the battery door from being opened. This feature is effective in preventing the removal of the battery from this device (which will render the unit inoperable). To activate the battery tamper resist feature, remove the unit from the mounting plate and locate the small cut-out in the middle of the product label on the back of the unit.
