It’s a great fit if you want easy, low maintenance monitoring with battery redundancy.
Care & maintenance
Check the batteries twice a year and use the Test-Hush Button monthly to confirm proper operation. Replace the unit according to the manufacturer recommendations, and keep vents and openings free from dust.
