Setup
Before initial use, please charge the product for at least 4 hours to ensure optimal battery performance and prevent low sound or unresponsive buttons.
1. Initial Charging and Placement
Plug the power failure alarm directly into a standard 15A household outlet (US 110-125V). The device will begin charging its internal battery. Ensure the 3-pronged head is fully inserted into the alarm. The compact design ensures it does not block adjacent sockets.

2. Power Supply Monitoring Indication
Once plugged in, the device continuously monitors the power supply. A green LED light indicates a normal power supply (110-125V). In case of a power outage, the alarm will activate, and the LED will flash red.

Operating Instructions
1. Adjusting Alarm Tones and Volume
The alarm features buttons on its side for adjusting settings. Use the 'down arrow' button to cycle through 6 different alarm tones (beeps/buzzers, not sirens). Use the 'up arrow' button to adjust the volume across 4 levels. A silent mode is available, which disables sound but keeps the LED flashing.

2. Cancelling the Alarm
To cancel an active alarm, press the 'Cancel Alarm' button located on the device. The alarm will also automatically cancel once power is restored.
Video: Demonstrates the quick and easy process of cancelling the alarm by pressing the designated button on the device.
Voltage Monitoring and Alerts
The alarm provides continuous voltage monitoring with clear LED indicators:
- Green LED: Indicates a safe and standard voltage range (110-125V).
- Red LED: Alerts to over-voltage (above 125V).
- Blue LED: Alerts to under-voltage (below 110V).
- Flashing LED (Red/Blue/Green): Accompanies the audible alarm during power failure or voltage anomalies.
