Step 4: Testing the Alarm
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the
alarm, always stand an arms length away from the
unit when testing.
The test/reset button has six purposes. It tests the unit’s
electronics, resets the CO alarm, activates the HUSH fea-
ture, (As well as Low Battery HUSH and End of Life Hush)
and activates the Peak Level Memory Feature.
After installation, TEST THE UNIT’S ELECTRONICS by press-
ing and releasing the test/reset button. You will hear the
following sequence of “beeps” and verbal warnings:
Three long beeps
Verbal warning: “FIRE! FIRE!”
Three long beeps.
Four quick beeps
Verbal warning: “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE”
Four quick beeps
Weekly testing is required! If at anytime it does not perform
as described, verify power is connected correctly and that
the battery doesn’t need replacing. Clean dust and other
buildup off the unit. If it still doesn’t operate properly call
the Product Support Line at 1 (800) 880 6788.
