Use and Care Manual

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the alarm is acti-

vated (see Section 3) and testing is complete. When products of

combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating

alarm until the air is cleared.

SMART HUSH

CONTROL: The SMART HUSH

feature has the

capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approxi-

mately 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 immediately and the red LED will illuminate for 1.5 sec-

onds every 8 seconds for 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm

is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will

automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes and sound the

alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The SMART

HUSH

feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been

cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset

button on the alarm will end the temporarily desensitized period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE SMART HUSH

CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

7). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist on the base

is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm

onto the mounting bracket until you hear the tamper r

esist tab

snap into place, locking the alarm on the mounting bracket.

Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others

from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the

alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the

tamper resist tab and rotate the alarm in the direction indicated by

the arrows on the cover of the alarm (see figure 8).
