4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operational 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.

INTELLIGENT HUSH

CONTROL

NOTE: MODEL 0945 DOES NOT HAVE HUSH

HUSH

CONTROL: The HUSH

feature has the capability of tem-

porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 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 immedi-

ately and the red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 sec-

onds for 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily

desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset

after approximately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of

combustion are still present. The HUSH

feature can be used

repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing

the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will end the

temporarily desensitized period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH

CONTROL

FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM SMART HUSH

FEA-

TURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CER-

TAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing

red indicator light with four modes of operation:

• The LED will flash every 40-45 seconds in the standby mode sig-

nifying that the alarm is receiving power.

• The LED will flash every 1.5 seconds when the alarm is sounding.

• The LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds while the

alarm is in the temporarily desensitized mode.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it

down for a minimum of 5 seconds (or until the alarm sounds). This

will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn and batteries

are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective batteries or

other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you
