2. Alarm Mode: This mode is activated when the alarm detects combustion products.
3. Alarm Memory: This feature indicates that the alarm has been previously triggered.
4. Hush Mode: In this mode, the alarm is silenced for approximately 7 minutes.

Additionally, a green LED indicates when AC power is present.

It provides critical protection during power failures, utilizing a 9V battery housed within the innovative front-load battery door.

For comprehensive family safety, it's advisable to install one Kidde fire detector on each level of your home and in sleeping areas to ensure all-around protection.
