Low Power Pack Condition
IMPORTANT: Your smoke alarm requires the power pack (9v DC battery) to
have sucient capacity of power to operate correctly. Should your smoke
alarm enter a low power pack condition, the unit will emit an audible chirp
once every 40 seconds. When this occurs, you must replace the battery
immediately. Your smoke alarm will continue to warn of this low power pack
condition for approximately 30 days, however, failure to change the battery
after this time would mean your smoke alarm may have insucient power
to alert you in a real re situation. After the battery is replaced, the low
power warning chirp will stop.
Fault Indication
The alarm chirp occurs every 40 seconds.
Alarm Silence
DANGER: If your smoke alarm emits the full alarm signal and you are not
testing the unit, the smoke alarm is warning you of a potentially dangerous
situation that requires your immediate attention. Only use the alarm
silence function after making sure that there is no ongoing re emergency
situation. Do not block the vents on the alarm or disable the smoke alarm in
any way, as this will remove your protection. Smoke alarms can sometimes
react to cooking fumes or other non emergency situations. In the event
of a known false alarm your smoke alarm can be temporarily silenced
by pressing the test button.Your alarm will automatically return to full
sensitivity within 8 minutes.
NOTE:
1. Press and release the silence button, the alarm sound will stop.
2. Your alarm will silence and enter into a reduced sensitivity reset cycle for
approximately 8 minutes.
3. During the reduced sensitivity reset cycle, the red LED will ash once
every 8 seconds.
4. Your alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity on completion
of the reset cycle and the red LED will revert to ashing once every 40
seconds.
DANGER:
Never ignore any alarm ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. If
your smoke alarm activates and alarms and you are not absolutely certain of
the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.
