QUICK FIND® Alarm Origination/Location Feature: The QUICK FIND® feature will allow you to immediately locate the originating alarm (the alarm
that triggered the other alarms), once the alarms have stopped sounding.
1. Press and release the Test button on any alarm. After releasing the button, the test sequence on this alarm will begin, and last approximately
5-20 seconds.
2. Once this test sequence ends, the originating alarm continues to sound for approximately 60 seconds, which provides ample time to locate the
originating alarm.
3. Remember to reset the originating alarm in order to clear the QUICK FIND® and return the system to normal operation.
NOTE: If you have any additional questions about the operation of Model MIC1509S, please contact our Customer Service Department at
800-390-4321, and we will gladly assist you.

Off Quick Find® Alarm Origination - In an intercon-
nected system it is difcult to determine which
alarm initiated the alarms to sound. The Quick
Find® feature will allow you to immediately
locate the originating alarm (once the alarms
have stopped sounding). To initiate Quick
Find® press the Test button on any alarm.
After releasing the button and following the test
sequence, the originating alarm will continue
to sound for approximately 60 seconds. In a
non-interconnected installation, it is necessary
to test each alarm to determine the originating
alarm.
An interconnected CO alarm has sensed CO
causing all interconnected alarms to sound. If
hazard is identied please take all precautions
if an alarm sounds by calling Emergency
Service and getting out of the home.
The CO alarm Silence Feature can be
activated by pressing and releasing the Silence
button on the initiating alarm while in alarm
condition. The alarm will remain silent for ap-
prox 5 minutes [With the red LED blinking on
approx every 10 seconds], depending on the
level of CO detected. If CO levels drop below
alarm levels, the alarm will remain silent and
return to normal operation. If CO levels remain
constant or increase, this indicates a potentially
dangerous situation and the horn will sound
again. Ventilate area.
