TEST FUNCTION (WHEN NO SMOKE IS PRESENT)

  1. Test the LOCAL smoke alarm:

    Press and hold either the Remote Test button or the Local Test / Hush button and release within 4 seconds. Only the local smoke alarm will sound.

  2. Test the LINKED smoke alarms:

    Press and hold either the Remote Test button or the Local Test / Hush button for more than 5 seconds. The linked alarms will sound.

Note for wireless interconnection

After 5 seconds, a signal of 15 seconds duration is sent to all units. When the wireless linked smoke alarms detect the signal, they will sound until the signal is no longer transmitted.The wireless detection interval is 10 seconds.

Important: After the Test / Hush button has been pressed, wait 10 minutes before any additional testing is conducted to avoid any false alarm responses as product has reduced sensitivity during this period.
