Smoke HUSH Control Feature
The HUSH feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing
the smoke alarm circuit for approximately 9 minutes. This
feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such
as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. When the unit is in
alarm you can put your Smoke Alarm in HUSH mode by
pushing the test/reset button. If the smoke is not too dense, the
alarm will silence immediately, and the green LED will flash
every 2 seconds for approximately 9 minutes. This indicates that
the smoke alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition.
Your Smoke Alarm will automatically reset after approximately 9
minutes. When the unit returns to normal operation after being
in HUSH mode, it will sound the alarm if smoke is still present.
The HUSH feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been
cleared of the condition causing the alarm. While the unit is in
HUSH mode, pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will
also end the HUSH period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH
CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS
ALARM.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH
FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND
