Using the Gentex BRK 7020BSL Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector is easy. First, install it in a suitable location according to the instructions. It can be powered by 120V AC, and the 3V sealed lithium metal battery will kick in during power outages. To test the detector, press and hold the test/silence button. This will simulate a smoke condition and make the unit alarm. If there's a false alarm, press the same button to silence it. When the smoke clears, the alarm will reset automatically. Be aware that the detector has different indicator lights and sounds for various situations. A constant green LED means it's getting AC power, while a flashing green LED indicates DC power. For local and remote alarms, there will be an audio alarm, a strobe light, and a flashing red LED. If interconnected to a BRK CO or Combo Alarm, the CO alarm has its own set of signals. When the battery is low, the green LED will flash every 2 seconds. As for maintenance, check the battery regularly. When the detector reaches the end of its life, it will give 5 short chirps with 5 green LED flashes per minute, and you should replace it. Make sure to keep the detector in an environment with a temperature between 40°F and 100°F and a humidity range of 10% to 95% relative humidity.
