SPECIAL SMOKE ALARM FEATURES
If your smoke alarm has one or more of these special features, read the
following:
• BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models B, C, E and PB): The indicator light
under the Push-to-Test button blinks about once per minute to
indicate the smoke alarm is receiving power.
• FALSE ALARM CONTROL (Model C): Simply push the test button to
temporarily silence the smoke alarm if a nuisance alarm occurs or to
prevent nuisance alarms. By momentarily depressing the test button,
your alarm will automatically switch to a special reduced sensitivity
condition for up to 15 minutes, after which it will reset to its full
normal sensitivity. If a real fire occurs, however, and the quantity of
smoke reaching the smoke alarm is sufficiently great, the unit will
sound an alarm. The reduced sensitivity level is only intended to
eliminate nuisance alarms caused by light concentrations of smoke.
If additional reduced sensitivity time is required, push the button
again. Every time the smoke alarm is tested it will enter the reduced
sensitivity condition for up to 15 minutes and then automatically
switch back to full normal sensitivity.
• SAFETY LIGHT (Model E): This smoke alarm uses a miniature lamp
designed to last for an average of 15 hours of continuous operation.
When you push the test button the light will flash along with the alarm
sounding to indicate it is working properly.
WARNING: VERY THICK SMOKE MAY OBSCURE THE LIGHT.
