Test/Silence Button
The test/silence button is used to test the unit's electronics and to silence the unit during an alarm.
Short press the test button and you will hear a short beep, indicating that the alarm has entered the test mode. A test push
notification will be sent to your smartphone by the app. Please refer to the "Alarm Testing" section for further information. The
alarm goes back to the standby mode after testing.
NOTE: After a test has begun, the alarm will sound and the LED indicator will flash red. This does not indicate that CO is
present. If you press the test button during an alarm state, the unit will enter the silence mode.
