Упутство за употребу

Your Kidde i4618AC smoke alarm is designed for continuous operation and requires minimal user interaction under normal conditions.

  • Нормалан рад: The alarm continuously monitors for smoke. A small red LED indicator light will flash approximately once every 30-40 seconds to confirm that the alarm is receiving power and functioning correctly.
  • Стање аларма: In the event of smoke detection, the alarm will emit a loud, pulsating sound (three long beeps followed by a pause, repeated). The red LED will flash rapidly in conjunction with the alarm sound. If interconnected with other compatible alarms, all interconnected units will also sound.
  • Hush Mode: For nuisance alarms (e.g., from cooking smoke), press the large, centrally located Test/Hush button. This will temporarily silence the alarm for approximately 7-10 minutes. The red LED will flash every 10 seconds during Hush mode. The alarm will automatically reset after the Hush period, or sooner if smoke density increases.
  • Меморија аларма: In an interconnected system, if one alarm triggers the others, the initiating alarm will flash its red LED every 1.5 seconds for approximately 10 minutes after the alarm condition has cleared. This feature helps identify the source of the alarm.
  • Упозорење о ниској батерији: When the 9V battery backup is low, the alarm will chirp approximately once every 30-40 seconds. This indicates that the battery needs to be replaced immediately.

  • Месечно тестирање: Test your smoke alarm monthly by pressing and holding the Test/Hush button until the alarm sounds. This confirms the alarm's electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working.
  • Замена батерије: Replace the 9V battery annually, or immediately when the low battery chirp sounds. Use only recommended 9V batteries. The front-loading battery door makes this process convenient.
  • Чишћење: Clean your smoke alarm at least once a year. Gently vacuum the alarm's cover and vents with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. A dust cover is included to protect the sensor from contaminates during construction, reducing nuisance alarms. Do not paint the alarm.
