Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked. BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM IMPORTANT! Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and located where smoke can reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires. Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms Battery powered or electrical? Different Smoke Alarms provide different types of protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details. Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one Smoke Alarm on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in every bedroom hallway or separate sleeping area. See “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details. Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do A Smoke Alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to escape. It can only sound an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details. Check Your Local Building Codes This Smoke Alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family home. It alone may not meet requirements for boarding houses, apartment buildings, hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance Considerations” for details. • This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you install special units which use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert the hearing impaired. • Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly. • Unit will not operate without battery power. The Smoke Alarm cannot work until you install the battery in the correct position (Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”). • This Smoke Alarm has a battery drawer which resists closing unless a battery is installed. This warns you the unit will not operate without a battery. • Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chambers and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes. • Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hearing. • Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the sensing chambers and prevent the unit from operating properly. 1 HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS! 1.
