Testing

•After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down the test button for 5 seconds until the alarm sounds.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.

Operation

The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization sensor chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85 db) alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
