The alarm will automatically reset after this period if the smoke has cleared. If smoke is still present, the alarm will reactivate.

Advertencia de fin de vida útil:

After approximately 10 years of operation, the alarm will begin to chirp once every 60 seconds, and the red LED will flash twice every 60 seconds, indicating that the unit has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.
