Battery replacement

Under normal conditions, the LED normally flashes every 8 sec to indicate normal operating
conditions. Replace the battery when the LED stops flashing, and the sensor chirps every 45
sec.
Silence the low battery trouble chirps for 24 hr by pushing the Test/Silence button. Refer to
the Smoke detector illustration for locating the Test/Silence button.

Smoke test

Test smoke detectors annually by using a listed aerosol smoke tester to simulate an alarm.
Follow the instructions on the can.
The LED should remain ON while the detector provides a continuous tone. The detector
automatically resets when smoke is no longer present. A detector that fails to activate with
the smoke test might require cleaning or replacement.
Notice!
To avoid a fire department dispatch, contact central monitoring station, or put the system
into Test mode before activating the detector using this method.
