✱

Using the

READY Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message, and your keypad’s READY indicator light will not be lit.

The READY (✱) key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone.

To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY (✴) key (do not enter code first). Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system.

A "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed and the keypad's READY indicator light (if present) will be lit.

The First Alert FA142C is a reliable and efficient combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that provides crucial safety features for any home. This innovative device is designed to keep you and your loved ones safe by detecting both smoke and harmful carbon monoxide gas, which is odorless and colorless. With its advanced technology and user-friendly design, the FA142C is an excellent choice for ensuring peace of mind.

One of the standout features of the First Alert FA142C is its dual-sensor technology.

The First Alert FA142C also boasts a user-friendly design. The device is battery-operated, requiring no hard wiring, which allows for easy installation in various locations throughout your home. Its low battery chirp alerts you when it's time to replace the batteries, ensuring consistent functionality. Furthermore, the test/silence button enables you to easily check the alarm’s operation and silence nuisance alarms.

In terms of design, this alarm features a sleek, modern look that can blend seamlessly into any décor. The First Alert FA142C also comes with a five-year limited warranty, highlighting the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability and effectiveness.

Overall, the First Alert FA142C is a standout choice for those looking to enhance their home safety.
