4. OPERATION AND TESTING

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.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE,

IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A

SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

LED INDICATOR: This smoke alarm is equipped with a red LED

indicator. The red LED is located under the test button and has

several modes of operation.
