The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence
the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do
not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It
will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.
To use the Silence Feature, briefly press the
Test/Silence button on the cover of the
Smoke/CO Alarm.
To silence Alarms in an interconnected series:
To silence all the Alarms in an interconnected series,
you must press the Test/Silence button on the unit(s)
that triggered the alarm.
NOTE: The red light on the initiating Alarms will flash
rapidly. The red light will be off on all other Alarms.
Never interrupt AC power or remove the battery to
quiet an unwanted alarm. Disabling the Alarm
removes your protection.
WHEN THE SMOKE ALARM IS SILENCED...
The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15
minutes and then return to normal operation. If the
smoke has not cleared within the silence period or if
smoke increases to a critical level during the silence
period, the unit will go back into alarm.
Use the Silence Feature only if you are certain of
the source of smoke. If you are not certain of the
source or a fire starts while you are clearing
smoke, evacuate the house immediately.
WHEN THE CO ALARM IS SILENCED...
The CO Alarm will remain silent for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially
dangerous the horn will start sounding again.
The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence
the Alarm horn. It will not correct a CO problem.
LOW BATTERY SILENCE FEATURE
If AC power is on, briefly press the Test/Silence button
to silence the low battery “chirp” for up to 8 hours.
The Alarm will continue to operate as long as AC
power is supplied. However, replace the battery as
soon as possible, to maintain protection in event of a
power outage.
