Page 15

WARNING

If at any time smoke or CO is heavy enough to indicate a dangerous situation, the alarm may not silence, or may start sounding again quickly. DO NOT ignore the alarm!

TAKE EMERGENCY ACTION IMMEDIATELY!

QUICK QUIET™ FALSE ALARM CONTROL™

Smoke Alarm

Alarm(s) stop sounding within 10 seconds.

RED light blinks once every 10 seconds on all trigger alarms.

Quiets the smoke alarm for up to 15 minutes (unless smoke present indicates an emer- gency condition).

CO Alarm (CO Reset)

Alarm(s) stop sounding within 10 seconds.

BLUE light blinks once every 10 seconds on all trigger alarms.

Quiets the CO alarm for up to 6 minutes (unless the CO levels present indicate an emergency condition).

In an interconnected series, the RED-YELLOW- ORANGE or BLUE light will flash only on the trigger alarm(s).

SMART QUIET™

Smoke or CO Alarm

The alarm(s) on any non-triggering units (those not actually sensing smoke or CO) stop sounding within 10 seconds. Trigger alarms will continue to sound.

Non-triggering alarms remain silent for approximately one minute to allow you time to listen for and identify the location of the triggering alarm(s) that actually detected the dangerous condition. MOVE AWAY from areas where you hear trigger alarms sounding if at all possible.

After one minute, if a dangerous condition persists, all units will go back into alarm.

DO NOT IGNORE the trigger alarm(s), and be

aware that an extremely dangerous situation exists at that location(s) in your home.

In an interconnected series, the RED-YELLOW- ORANGE or BLUE light will only flash on the trigger alarm(s).

LATCHING LED ALARM INDICATOR

The Latching LED Alarm Indicator activates automatically. It helps you identify the original trigger alarm(s) in an interconnected series after a smoke or CO event.

NOTE: If the unit is operating on battery power only (GREEN light is OFF), the latching lights will blink approximately once per minute.

Smoke Alarm - after a smoke alarm condition, the triggering alarm’s RED light blinks 3 times every 10 seconds until manually reset.

CO Alarm - after a CO alarm condition, the triggering alarm’s BLUE light blinks 4 times every 10 seconds until manually reset.

SMART QUIET™ FOR LOW BATTERY ALERT

You can silence the Low Battery Alert for up to 8 hours by pressing and releasing the Smart Button. The sensor remains active.

This allows family members to go back to sleep or gives you time to purchase a replacement bat- tery. It is important that you replace the battery as soon as possible to continue your protection!
