TESTING YOUR FSA-30000 SMOKE ALARMS

We recommend testing your FSA-30000 Smoke Alarms monthly to confirm they are working correctly.

1. Press and hold the Test button for two seconds. The alarm will sound three short chirps, pause for 1.5 seconds, and then continue sounding until you release the button.

2. For interconnected alarms, press and hold the Test button for five seconds. The alarm you are testing will sound first, followed by all interconnected alarms, confirming that the wireless network is operating correctly. After the test, check that the red LED on each alarm is flashing. This will continue for three minutes to indicate a successful test.

BATTERY INFORMATION

FSA-30000 Smoke Alarms are powered by a 10-year non-replaceable sealed battery.

If the low battery indicator occurs (one flash every 40 seconds accompanied by one chirp every 40 seconds), the smoke alarm has reached end of life and must be replaced.

PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Rotate the mounting bracket to the ON position to switch each smoke alarm on.

2. Press and hold the CONTROL button for 2 seconds.

The alarm will chirp indicating correct operation.

3. Choose one smoke alarm to act as the MASTER unit.

Apply the MASTER sticker (provided).
This ensures future SLAVE alarms can be added easily

Recommended: Choose a smoke alarm located centrally within the residence. If your system includes both wired and wireless alarms, designate a centrally located wired alarm as the MASTER.
