4.CO Alarm Test. Ten second test. Horn sounds: 4 alarms, 5-second pause, 4 alarms, 5-second pause. BLUE light flashes rapidly. During the CO alarm test, other interconnected CO alarms or combination smoke-CO alarms also will sound their alarms to verify the inter- connect is working.

As long as you press the Smart Button the smoke and CO alarm will alternately test the smoke and CO sensors and cause a remote alarm condition on all interconnected smoke, heat, CO, and smoke-CO alarm units. Use a broomstick or similar long object to press the Smart Button to keep a distance between you and the 85 db alarm.

5.Fault Warning. If alarm sounds two short beeps followed by YELLOW light flashing twice, the unit is detecting a fault. Push the Smart Button to reset and start a self test. If the Fault Warning persists, the alarm must be replaced immediately.

6.If no alarm sounds, turn off power at main fuse box or circuit breaker and check wiring and con- nection. Turn on power and retest the unit(s).

Maintenance and Care

In addition to weekly testing, this smoke and CO alarm requires yearly battery replacement and periodic cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris.

DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power at main service panel by removing fuse or switching appropriate circuit breaker to OFF position before replacing battery or cleaning smoke and CO alarm.

Battery Replacement

Always turn off power to the alarm circuit before replacing the battery. Replace the battery at least once a year or immediately when the low battery chirp sounds once a minute, even though the smoke alarm is receiving AC power. If the Low Battery Warning sounds and a replacement bat- tery is not immediately available, pushing the Smart Button silences the Low Battery Warning for approximately 8 hours. This allows you to return to sleep, for example, and purchase a new battery the next day. If you push the Smart Button and the Low Battery Warning does not silence, replace the battery immediately.

Use only the following batteries as replacements in this smoke and CO alarm: Eveready 522, Duracell MN 1604 or Ultralife U9VL-J.

WARNING

DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF BATTERY, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
