V. TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

Testing

•Local Test. Test each combination alarm to be sure it is installed correctly and operating properly.

•Interconnect Test. Test all combination alarms in an interconnected system after installation.

•The Smart Button accurately tests all functions. DO NOT use an open flame to test this smoke alarm. You may ignite and damage the smoke alarm or your home.

•Test alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation or when no one has been in the household for several days.

•Use testing to learn to distinguish the difference between the smoke and CO alarm patterns.

Test all combination alarms weekly by doing the following:

•Make sure the BLUE and RED lights are blink- ing once per minute. This indicates the unit is functioning properly and is checking for hazardous smoke and CO levels.

•Check that the GREEN light is lit. A constant green light indicates the smoke and CO alarm is receiving 120V AC power. No GREEN light indicates no AC power or unit is operating on battery power.

•Test one specific smoke and CO alarm (local test), or test unit and all interconnected smoke, CO, or combination smoke-CO alarms (inter- connect test). We recommend a full intercon- nected test weekly on each and every smoke, heat, CO, and combination smoke-CO unit in your residence.

To test an individual smoke and CO alarm (local test):

1.Press the Smart Button firmly until the YEL- LOW light flashes briefly. Release the Smart Button or,

To run a full local test and a test of the inter- connect signaling capability of all intercon- nected remote units:

1.Push the Smart Button firmly until the YELLOW light flashes briefly, sounds one beep and then sounds a double (two in series) beep. (The two beeps mean you will hear an alarm from two or more interconnected units.) Release the Smart Button and move away from the alarm.

The combination alarm will test each of its smoke and CO sensors and provide a series of audible and visual signals to let you know your unit is functioning correctly.

2.Horn Ramp-up.Alarm sounds a series of short beeps in the first four seconds, starting with one beep, then two beeps, then three beeps. This allows you to move away from the alarm before the full alarm horn sounds.

3.Smoke Alarm Test. Eight second test.

USA Horn sounds: 3 alarms, pause, 3 alarms,

pause. Canada Horn sounds: 4 alarms, pause, 4 alarms, pause. RED-YELLOW- ORANGE lights flash rapidly. During the smoke alarm test, other interconnected smoke alarms in your house also will sound their alarms to verify the interconnect is working.
