• Why is my Quell smoke alarm chirping?

  A chirping sound approximately every 60 seconds typically indicates a low battery or that the unit has reached its end of life. If the red LED flashes at the same time as the chirp, replace the battery or the alarm immediately.

• How do I test my Quell smoke alarm?

  Press and hold the Test/Hush button for at least 5 seconds until the unit sounds. This verifies that the circuitry, horn, and battery are working. Weekly testing is recommended.

• What is the Hush feature on Quell alarms?

  The Hush feature allows you to temporarily silence the alarm for up to 9 minutes if it has been triggered by a nuisance event, such as cooking smoke. If the smoke becomes too dense, the Hush mode will be overridden.

• How long do Quell smoke alarms last?

  Most Quell smoke alarms have a service life of 10 years. After this period, the entire unit should be deactivated and replaced to ensure continued protection.
