Testing and Maintenance

IMPORTANT!

Cat. 4120SB Only: During installation, if you accidentally press the Silence button, the alarm will “chirp” once a minute for up to 15 minutes and the Test feature will be temporarily disabled. This is normal. The “chirping” will stop once the alarm returns to normal operation.

Weekly Testing

WARNING!

NEVER use an open ﬂame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set ﬁre to the unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL). If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Safety Standards, and use it only as directed. Use of non-UL Listed products or improper use of UL Listed products may affect the smoke alarm’s sensitivity.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test this smoke alarm.

Press and hold the test button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after you release the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it again. If it still does not alarm, replace it immediately. During testing, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.

When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.

Regular Maintenance

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance- free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:

•Test it at least once a week.

•Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover at least once a month using your vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the unit after vacuum- ing the cover.

•Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

•Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where Not To Install Smoke Alarms” for details.

•When the battery back-up becomes weak, the smoke alarm will “chirp” about once a minute (the low battery warning). This warning should last 7 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your smoke alarm’s battery back-up requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements. This list supplements the list on the smoke alarm battery door: Eveready #216, #522 (Energizer), #1222; Duracell #MN1604, MX1604 (Ultra); Gold Peak #1604P, #1604S; Rayovac 1604, D1604. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for longer service life between battery changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.
