Kidde P12040 - Manual (Page 8)

TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To make your smoke alarm tamper
resistant, a locking pin has been provided with your alarm. Using
this pin will help deter children and others from removing the
alarm from trim ring. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the
side of the alarm after the alarm has been installed on the trim
ring (see figure 8). NOTE: The tamper resist pin will have to be
removed in order to change the batteries. Use long nose pliers to
pull the pin out of the hole. It is now possible to remove the alarm
from the trim ring.
After installation, TEST your alarm by pressing and holding the test
button for several seconds. This should sound the alarm.
4. OPERATION AND TESTING
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is
installed and testing is complete. When products of combustion
are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the
air is cleared.
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 10
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 flash every 10 seconds
for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a
temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automati-
cally reset after approximately 10 minutes, and sound the alarm if
smoke is still present. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
