This accessory is battery powered, designed to operate reliably for
ten years under normal use conditions. There are no user
serviceable or replaceable parts which includes the fitted battery
• The RTH is equipped with two non-latching buttons, one for
Hush and other for test.
• This unit transmits upon pressing either the test or hush button
however it has an in-built safety delay time of 4 seconds where
the unit will not transmit after a button has been released
• This unit has a in-built maximum continuous transmit time of
36 seconds as a safety feature if either button is continuously
pressed
To avoid excessive operational drain on the battery avoid situa-
tions where the button(s) are pressed and held depressed (such as
by objects left on the device). This will seriously reduce the serv-
ice life of the battery.

Connecting the Remote Test and Hush Accessory
The accessory works with one Wireless Alarm base. We recommend
you enrol it with the alarm in your main living room.
• Press the enrol button on the RF wireless base.
˚Wireless base should already be enrolled into a system. If
the RTH is to be used with a wireless base not in a system
of wireless bases, the wireless base should be set as a
master unit before enrolling the RTH. See installers guide
for wireless base.
• Press any button on the RTH.
• Verify the amber LED on the alarm has changed from 2 seconds
on 2 seconds off to rapid blinking.
• Press the enrol button on the base to complete the process.
Operation
The accessory is designed to sit on a table top or fit into a bracket
on the wall.
During normal operation the RTH can be used to test the smoke
alarms in your system by transmitting a signal to the RF wireless
base it has been enrolled with. The smoke alarm will then perform a
test as if the button on the alarm had been pressed and held. The
alarm will then produce an alarm pattern and all other alarms that
are interconnected (both by wires and RF) will produce an alarm
pattern to verify the units and the system are functioning properly.
During a non-emergency alarm event, the hush button can be
pressed to temporarily silence the alarms. If the smoke alarm that
has detected the abnormal level of smoke is connected to the RF
wireless base the RTH is enrolled to, pressing the hush button will
silence all the alarms in the system. If another alarm has detected
the smoke, all the units but the one(s) that initiated the alarm will
silence, allowing the occupant or emergency service personnel
more time to quickly identify the initiating alarm.

When operating on battery backup power, the RF wireless base
only listens for transmissions every 10 seconds, therefore you
may have to press and hold the button on the RTH for up to 10
seconds or until the alarm can respond.
