until the tamper resist feature is deactivated.

NOTE: Before activating the battery carrier tamper resist feature, make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that the bat- tery carrier is properly closed. If the battery carrier tamper resist feature is activated while the battery carrier is open, the battery carrier will not close and the unit will be inoperable.

To deactivate the battery carrier tamper resist, in order to change the smoke alarm battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate, and locate the small cut-out in the middle of the product label. Using a screwdriver, or similar tool, slide the switch towards the bottom of the product label. The battery carri- er can now be opened and the battery changed.

4. Operation and Testing

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ion ization chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

Hush® CONTROL: The Hush®feature has the capability of tem porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the Hush®button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immedi ately and the red LED will flash once every 10 seconds for approxi mately 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approxi mately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The Hush®feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
