When an interconnected Kidde smoke alarm detects smoke, this unit will sound a smoke/fire alarm pattern of

3 long beeps, followed by 1 second of silence. This cycle repeats as long as smoke signal persists to alert you of the condition. If this happens, leave the premises immediately by your escape plan and call your local fire department.
