• Local Test. Test each combination alarm to

be sure it is installed correctly and operating

properly.

• Interconnect Test. Test all combination alarms

in an interconnected system after installation.

• The Smart Button accurately tests all functions.

DO NOT use an open flame to test this smoke

alarm. You may ignite and damage the smoke

alarm or your home.

• Test alarms weekly and upon returning from

vacation or when no one has been in the

household for several days.

• Use testing to learn to distinguish the

difference between the smoke and CO

alarm patterns.

Test all combination alarms weekly by doing

the following:

• Make sure the BLUE and RED lights are blink-

ing once per minute. This indicates the unit is

functioning properly and is checking for

hazardous smoke and CO levels.

• Check that the GREEN light is lit. A constant

green light indicates the smoke and CO alarm

is receiving 120V AC power. No GREEN light

indicates no AC power or unit is operating on

battery power.

• Test one specific smoke and CO alarm (local

test), or test unit and all interconnected smoke,

CO, or combination smoke-CO alarms (inter-

connect test). We recommend a full intercon-

nected test weekly on each and every smoke,

heat, CO, and combination smoke-CO unit in

your residence.

To test an individual smoke and CO alarm

(local test):

1. Press the Smart Button firmly until the YEL-

LOW light flashes briefly. Release the Smart

Button or,

To run a full local test and a test of the inter-

connect signaling capability of all intercon-

nected remote units:

1.

Push the Smart Button firmly until the YELLOW

light flashes briefly, sounds one beep and then

sounds a double (two in series) beep. (The two

beeps mean you will hear an alarm from two or

more interconnected units.) Release the Smart

Button and move away from the alarm.

The combination alarm will test each of its

smoke and CO sensors and provide a series

of audible and visual signals to let you know

your unit is functioning correctly.

2.

Horn Ramp-up. Alarm sounds a series of short

beeps in the first four seconds, starting with

one beep, then two beeps, then three beeps.

This allows you to move away from the alarm

before the full alarm horn sounds.

3. Smoke Alarm Test. Eight second test.

USA Horn sounds: 3 alarms, pause, 3 alarms,

pause. Canada Horn sounds: 4 alarms,

pause, 4 alarms, pause. RED-YELLOW-

ORANGE lights flash rapidly. During the smoke

alarm test, other interconnected smoke alarms

in your house also will sound their alarms to

verify the interconnect is working.
