Using The Silence Feature

The silence feature on this unit can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes.

CAUTION!

The silence feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, the unit will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alarm. Not responding to a fire can result in property loss, injury, or death.

IMPORTANT!

While the unit is in the “silence mode,” the test button will not operate. The alarm cannot be tested while in the silence mode.

3.While the units are in the “silence mode,” the test buttons will not operate. The alarms cannot be tested while in the silence mode.

4.The “chirping” on the initiating alarm will stop once the unit returns to normal operation.

The BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a cutting-edge detection device designed for modern safety needs. This model exemplifies BRK's commitment to innovation, reliability, and user-friendly functionality. The M06-2016-007,4120B is primarily a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, ensuring comprehensive protection against two of the most prevalent household hazards.

One of the standout features of this model is its advanced photoelectric sensing technology.

This dual functionality makes the M06-2016-007,4120B a two-in-one safety device, underscoring its versatility.

The alarm system of the M06-2016-007,4120B is robust and designed for maximum audibility, ensuring that even in the sleep state, alerts can be heard. It features a loud siren that meets industry standards, providing reassurance that occupants will be warned in the event of an emergency.

Powering the device is a reliable battery backup that ensures continued operation even in power outages, making it a dependable choice for safety-conscious consumers. Furthermore, the device incorporates a low-battery alert feature to remind users when it's time to replace the batteries, enhancing ongoing reliability.

Moreover, the M06-2016-007,4120B boasts an easy installation process, allowing homeowners to set it up without the need for professional assistance. The compact design ensures it can fit seamlessly into various home environments without being intrusive.

In conclusion, the BRK electronic M06-2016-007,4120B is a highly effective smoke and carbon monoxide detector that combines advanced technology with practical safety features.
