1.  Turn test knob to the NORMAL position and supply house power to 

the alarm.  The red indicator should flash every 15-30 seconds, 
showing that the alarm is operating properly.

2.  If red light is not flashing or the green LED is not on:

a.  Check that the battery is installed.
b.  Check to see if the plug is in the outlet.

c.   If the power and wiring check out, but the red light does not 

flash or the green LED is still off, return the alarm to the 
manufacturer.   See TO RETURN AN ALARM.

3.  Testing with the Test Knob:

a.  Rotate the test knob counter-clockwise to the TEST 1 position 

and wait up to 20 seconds for the alarm to sound.  If the alarm 

does not sound after 20 seconds, return the alarm for service.

b.  After successfully testing alarm, return test knob to NORMAL 

(non-test) position and wait 20 seconds for the alarm to stop 

sounding.

Figure 14.

c.  To test alarm for high sensitivity, turn test knob clockwise to

TEST 2 position.  Alarm should remain silent.  Return knob back 
to the normal position.

If your alarm sounds during this test it means the alarm's 
sensitivity has become too high and may cause false alarms.

This could mean your alarm is dirty and should be cleaned as 
described in the maintenance procedure below.

If the alarm continues to alarm for TEST 2 position following 
cleaning return it to Gentex for service.

To check for proper smoke entry into your alarm's sensing 
chamber.  Gentex recommends using the Home Safeguard 

This test should be performed once a year and should be 

sprayed from a distance no closer than 12 inches from smoke 

alarm.

After your alarm has been in operation for a period of time or if it

was installed prior to the completion of all building construction, your
alarm may have become more sensitive due to dirt build-up in the

alarm's optic sensing chamber which could cause nuisance alarms or

could cause activation from small amounts of smoke build-up.

If this should occur, following this simple washing procedure will

restore your smoke alarm back to its original condition.

For further information, regarding frequency of cleaning and testing,

refer to NFPA 72, NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA  02269.

DO NOT remove all alarms at the same time for cleaning.

1.  Twist the alarm counter-clockwise to remove it from its mounting 

plate.

2.  Unplug the electrical power cord to the alarm and remove the 

battery.

3.  Select three (3) standard size wash buckets and fill them each with 

one gallon of normal tap water (distilled or de-ionized treated water 

is recommended as a final rinse if water is extremely hard in your 

area).

4.   Add 1/8 cup of Ivory dishwashing liquid to the first bucket of water 

and allow it to mix thoroughly, then place one dirty alarm into the 

soap water mixture until it becomes completely covered or 
submerged.

NOTE:  If the alarms are exceptionally dirty, you may wish to first wipe

off any excess dirt before washing alarm so as not to dirty the wash
water too quickly.

DO NOT open alarm for cleaning.

WARNING:   ONLY IVORY DISHWASHING LIQUID IS TO BE USED.  

OTHER BRANDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AND 
MAY CAUSE YOUR ALARM TO MALFUNCTION.

5.   Allow alarm to soak for approximately 10 minutes (longer if 

extremely dirty).  Then agitate for 5 or 10 seconds to flush out any 
remaining dirt left inside alarm's housing.

6.   Remove alarm from wash water and transfer directly to one of the 

first rinse buckets containing clear water.  Again, allow alarm to 
become completely submerged, agitate once more for 5 or 10 

seconds to remove soap residue.

7.   Finally, transfer alarm to your second and final rinse bucket, 

repeating method found in Step 6, then remove alarm to a clean 

dry area for a period of 48 hours to allow it to thoroughly dry.

In the event you experience difficulty in the cleaning of your smoke

alarm or if you have any questions, please contact Gentex Corporation

or your local Gentex distributor.

WARNING:

If the smoke alarm does not work properly, do not try and fix it your-

self.  This will void your warranty.  See "To Return an Alarm" for instruc-

tions to return smoke alarms that do not operate properly.  DO NOT
TRY TO FIX IT YOURSELF.

IMPORTANT:  Gentex recommends alarm be tested a minimum of

once a week.

WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your

alarm.  You may ignite and damage the alarm as well as your home.

The test feature of your alarm accurately simulates smoke conditions
and tests the alarm's functions as required by Underwriters

Laboratories.

WARNING: Do not cover, tape, or otherwise block the openings of

your smoke alarm.  These openings are designed to allow air to pass

through your smoke alarm, thus sampling the air around the alarm.     

FAILURE TO REGULARLY CLEAN THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL

RESULT IN FALSE ALARMS.  A BUILD UP OF DUST CREATES AN

OBSCURATION THAT SIMULATES SMOKE.  THIS MEANS THE UNIT

WILL GO INTO ALARM WITHOUT A FIRE CONDITION.
