Nuisance Alarms

Cleaning Your Smoke Alarm

Nuisance alarms can be caused by things like fumes from cooking or exhaust from a motor vehicle.

To stop a nuisance alarm, press the Hush button, which is also the Test button, on your Ooma Smoke Alarm. This will hush the alarm for up to five minutes. Remove the source of the nuisance alarm and clear

the air surrounding the smoke alarm.

Never try to avoid false alarms by disabling the device. If the nuisance alarm persists, clean your Ooma

Smoke Alarm as described in this Test/Hush Button quick start guide.

To ensure that your Ooma Smoke Alarm functions properly, we recommend that you clean it at least once a year. To

do this, remove it from the mounting plate by turning it counterclockwise. Use a soft brush to remove any dust from the openings around the device. Never use water, cleaners, or solvents to clean your Ooma Smoke Alarm.
