How to Know If Your Alarm is Malfunctioning

Your alarm performs an internal self-diagnosis every 15 seconds to make sure that it is functioning properly. The alarm is designed to alert you in the unusual event of a malfunction.

If the alarm malfunctions.

In the rare event that your alarm malfunctions, it will alert you with one of these signal groups (depending upon the type of malfunction that occurs):

Malfunction Signal Group 1 - Component Failure

–An intermittent “chirping” alarm will sound every 20 seconds., and

–An “Err” message will appear on the digital display

OR,

Malfunction Signal Group 2 - Microprocessor Failure

–The alarm will sound continuously, and

–The digital display will be blank, and

–The alarm cannot be shut off by pushing the “Test/Reset” button

Unplug the alarm immediately and return for warranty exchange (see “Warranty” on back page).
