Quick setup guide for kidde wireless alarms
DO NOT POWER-UP THE DEVICES.
Locate the 8-position dipswitch on the back
of each of your Kidde Wireless devices.
Choose a random sequence of OFF and
ON positions and set all your devices to this pattern. The devices
only read the sequence when they are first powered up. DO NOT
USE THE DEFAULT CODE THE DEVICES WERE SHIPPED WITH!
Power each device up, push and hold the test button for 5 sec-
onds and verify all the devices produce an alarm signal. If all the
units do not respond, disconnect power, remove the batteries, verify
the dipswitches on all units are the same and wait 30 seconds.
Power the units back up and try again. If the units do not respond
refer to the user’s guide for more information
CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an
arms length away from the unit when testing.
Install your units using the guidelines in the User’s Guide and then
test again.
Test your Kidde wireless devices weekly to ensure changes in your
home, such as the location of furniture, have not interfered with
the reception and transmission capabilities of your system.
If your Wireless smoke alarms enter alarm mode, first check to
see if there is a fire. If a fire does not exist, and the test button
has not been activated on any of the units, it is likely that you
are receiving interference from a similar system nearby. In this
case, repeat the above steps and select a different dipswitch
pattern, making sure to disconnect the power and remove the
batteries before changing the switch positions.
