MODEL 4120SB ONLY—

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

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

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.

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

To silence Smoke Alarms in an interconnected series:

1.To silence multiple alarms in an interconnected series, you must press the silence button on the unit(s) that triggered the alarm.

NOTE: The red light under the silence button on the initiating alarm will flash rapidly. The red light will be off on all other Smoke Alarms.

2.Once you activate the Silence feature, you will hear a reminder “chirp” on the initiating alarm about once a minute (for up to 15 minutes).

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 Silence feature on these units can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 15 minutes. To use this feature, press the “Push to Silence” button on the cover. Once you activate it, you will hear a reminder “chirp” about once a minute (for up to 15 minutes) and the Test feature is temporarily disabled. The “chirping” will stop once the unit returns to normal operation. If the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be replaced immediately.
