A Reminder From First Alert/BRK Electronics
Subject: Weekly Alarm Testing
BRK Brands Inc., the manufacturer of First Alert® and BRK Electronics® branded home
safety products, reminds all smoke, carbon monoxide (CO) and combination smoke/CO
alarm owners that it is important to test your alarms weekly to ensure they are working
properly. Regular testing and maintenance of your alarms in accordance with the user’s
manual instructions can help provide added protection for you and your family.
If an alarm ever fails to test properly, replace the batteries and test the alarm again. If
the alarm still fails to test properly, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY. Products under
warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for replacement (see user’s manual for
warranty instructions). In the event that an alarm is dropped during tabletop use or
during the installation process, confirm the alarm is fully functioning by testing the alarm.
If it fails to test properly, replace it immediately.
Some First Alert and BRK Electronics alarms offer a remote control silence and test
feature. This feature allows you to utilize most TV remote controls to test your alarm
without standing on a chair or ladder. Simply aim the remote control at the alarm and
press the channel or volume button for at least 3-5 seconds.
