Operating Instructions
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH® CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH® FEA- TURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
Reset Feature
If the Smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a CO alarm, pressing the test/reset button will initiate a test/reset. If the CO con- dition that caused the alert continues, the alarm will reacti- vate.
Low Battery HUSH® CONTROL
When the battery needs to be replaced, the unit will pro- duce a low battery “chirp” once per minute. The Low Battery HUSH® feature allows you to press the button on the alarm producing the warning and disable the “chirp” for a random period of up to 12 hours. This gives you a chance to replace the battery at a more convenient time without sacrificing your safety by disconnecting the alarm from power. During this Low Battery HUSH® period, your alarm is performing normally and is not desensitized.
Alarm/Peak Level Memory
If the green LED is blinking once every 16 seconds, the unit has detected a hazardous condition. If the unit has detected a CO level of 100 PPM or greater, pushing the Test/Reset button will result in a voice message “Caution, carbon monoxide previously detected”. Peak level also happens if the unit detects smoke and then comes out of alarm. However, there is no voice message if the unit is in peak level due to smoke. When the Test/Reset button is pushed, the unit will produce three rapid beeps. Pushing the test/reset button resets the memory. It’s also reset when the power is removed.
