Testing Your Smoke Alarm

If alarm horn sounds, and smoke alarm is not being tested,
the smoke alarm is sensing smoke. THE SOUND OF THE
ALARM HORN REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
AND ACTION.
Test each smoke alarm weekly to be sure it is installed correctly and
operating properly.
Test smoke alarms upon returning from vacation. Also test when no
one has been in the household for several days.
Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm when testing. The large
test button is shaped so that the end of a broomstick can be used to
test. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The alarm
horn may be harmful to your hearing.
The center test button accurately tests all functions. NEVER use an
open flame from a match or lighter to test this smoke alarm. You may
ignite and set fire to the smoke alarm and your home.
Test all smoke alarms weekly as follows:
1. Look at the LED power indicator. A visual light flashing about once
a minute indicates the smoke alarm is receiving battery power.
See "LED Power/Alarm Indicator" chart.
