will automatically resume its normal function.

test button. The heat alarm should give a loud alarm tone.
The best places to mount the alarm:
- Areas not suitable for smoke alarms due to high risk of false alarms

NOTE: In areas where smoldering fires occur over flaming fires,

possible cause could be:

cause is a faulty battery, and the heat alarm must be replaced.
