flashes once). This will activate local test.

one flashing red LED.
4. The alarm will return to normal operation after test.
5. After the test, if any concern is noted, a fault or trouble signal will be
given. The signal is two chirps every minute and the yellow LED will
flash every 10 seconds. See Troubleshooting section for more help.
Interconnect Test
1. Press and hold the push-to-test button. You will hear one chirp (yellow
light flashes once), then two chirps (yellow light flashes twice) then
three chirps (yellow light flashes three times).
2. Let go of the push-to-test button some time during the three chirps.
3. The local alarm (initiating unit) will go into a local test as described above.
4. Once the local test is complete, the local alarm (initiating unit) will
remain silent for the remainder of the test and there will be a pause of
about 10 to 15 seconds before sending an interconnect signal to the
interconnected alarms.
5. The interconnected smoke alarms will sound three to four horn
patterns.
6. The alarms will return to normal operation after test.
7. After the test, if any concern is noted, a fault or trouble signal will be
given. The signal is two chirps every minute and a flashing yellow LED
every 10 seconds. See Troubleshooting section for more help.
To make the signal last longer, simply skip step 2 and just continue to
hold the push-to-test button until you are satisfied with the test.
