Test/Silence Button:

Press the large central "TEST/SILENCE" button to:

• Test Functionality: A short press will activate the alarm sound to confirm it's working. The alarm tone is over 85 dB at 3 meters.
• Silence Alarm: If a non-emergency alarm occurs (e.g., from cooking smoke), press and hold the button to temporarily silence the alarm for 10 minutes. The alarm will automatically reset after this period if the condition clears.

CO Alarm Sensitivity:

The CO sensor is calibrated to specific carbon monoxide concentration levels and exposure times:

• 30 PPM: No alarm before 120 minutes.
• 50 PPM: Alarms between 60 and 90 minutes.
• 100 PPM: Alarms between 10 and 40 minutes.
• 300 PPM: Alarm in less than 3 minutes.

Maintenance

• Battery Life: The built-in lithium battery provides approximately 10 years of continuous operation. The device will indicate a low battery warning when replacement is needed.
• Cleaning: Regularly clean the detector to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can affect performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not paint the unit.
• Testing: Test the alarm weekly by pressing the "TEST/SILENCE" button to ensure proper functionality.
