02 ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

TYPES OF ALARMS

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of res if located, installed and cared

for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of

Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72 (National Fire

Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection Association, One

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101. Local building codes may also require specic units in

new construction or in different areas of the home.

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the

batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional

installation. However, they do not provide interconnected functionality.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units Alarm.

They do not operate if electricity fails. will operate if electricity fails, AC with battery (DC) back-up:

provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a

qualied electrician.

Smoke Alarms for solar or wind energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered

Smoke Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm

with most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or “quasi sine

wave” inverters . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please will damage the Alarm

consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed

for the hearing impaired. They include a visual Alarm and an audible Alarm horn, and meet the

requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Can be interconnected so if one unit senses

smoke, all units Alarm.

Smoke Alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated

and found suitable for that purpose.

All First Alert

Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are

designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are

produced in all res.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at

detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by aming res,

which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these res

may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease re in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at

detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering

res, which may smolder for hours before bursting into ame. Sources of these res may

include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every

bedroom of your home.

03 INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every oor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See

“Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm

should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the

bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every

level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away

from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured

homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the

furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm

the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

IN GENERAL, INSTALL COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS:

• On every level of your home, including nished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each.

If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of rst-to-second oor stairs and at the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures

normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F (4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

Smoke Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Fire Extinguisher

One on every level, plus

kitchen and garage

• When installing on the ceiling, place the Alarm as close to the center as possible.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches

(102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See

“Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke

from reaching the Alarm.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU AVOID INSTALLING SMOKE/CO ALARMS

IN THESE AREAS:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unnished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty

or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns.

Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at

least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater,

space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular,

mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far

from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended

to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce

“unwanted” Alarms. Unwanted Alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a

fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can

draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted Alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,

humidier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent smoke from

reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These

areas include non air-conditioned crawl spaces, unnished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated

ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from uorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere

with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarm. To avoid dead air spaces,

follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not

possible, install the Smoke Alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed

between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical

“dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the rst Smoke Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of

the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional Smoke Alarms may be required depending

on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped

or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

IMPORTANT!

This Smoke/CO Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch

one in the kitchen. Have re escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper level in

case stairs are blocked; 9) Have an escape plan and practice it regularly.

06 IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS

WHAT TO DO FIRST: IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM SIGNAL

Refer to previous section “What You Will See And Hear With This Alarm”.

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the Alarm horn sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause, and the RED CO light

is ashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air.

! WARNING!

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In

other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Press the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, re department or 911. Write down the number of your local

emergency service here:

____________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check

that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door

or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out,

and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps

1-3 and call a qualied appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning

equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are

identied during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion

equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact

the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure

that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the

residence. Write down the number of a qualied appliance technician here:

____________________________________________________________________

NOTE: A qualied appliance technician is dened as “a person, rm, corporation, or company that

either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing,

servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion

appliances and equipment, and/or gas replaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

AFTER AN ALARM

After the emergency responders arrive, the premises aired out, and your CO Alarm

remains in its normal condition, you can check what the highest carbon monoxide

level sensed was:

Action Alarm Will Say

Press & Hold Test Button

“Highest carbon monoxide level was ___

ppm. Please see manual.”

“To clear highest carbon monoxide level,

press and hold test button now.”

Press & Hold Test Button, if you would like to

clear the highest level sensed. If you would

like to keep the highest level in memory, do

not press anything.

“Highest carbon monoxide

level cleared.”

Alarm will say nothing.

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

! WARNING!

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous

situation that requires your immediate attention. ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may NEVER

result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm

(caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke,

and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The

alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t

open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure

everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

! WARNING!

Alarms have various limitations. See “General Limitations of Smoke/CO Alarms” for details.

07 USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

! WARNING!

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the batteries disables the

alarm and removes your protection.

• The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the

problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not correct a CO problem

or extinguish a re.

• The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several minutes. You can

silence this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at

least 3-5 seconds.

• After the Test/Silence button is released, the Alarm Voice will say “Horn silenced, detector active.”

The Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to

15 minutes, then return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to

increase–the device will go back into alarm.

The CO Alarm will remain silent for

up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain

potentially dangerous the horn will start

sounding again.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This Silence Feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours if AC power

is present. Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover until you hear the acknowledge “chirp”.

Once the low battery warning “chirp” Silence Feature is activated, the unit continues to ash the

green light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. The Alarm

will continue to operate as long as AC power is supplied. However, replace the batteries as soon as

possible, to maintain protection in event of a power outage.

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode and

the low battery warning will resume (LED ashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).

To silence alarms in an interconnected series: To silence an interconnected series of Smoke/CO

Alarms, you must press the Test/Silence button on the initiating alarm (The unit with the ashing red

light; the red light will be off on all other Alarms.). If you press the Test/Silence on any other Alarm, it

will only silence that unit, not the whole interconnected series.

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This Silence Feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for up to 2 days. You can silence

the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that

the End of Life Silence Feature has been activated. After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will

resume. The timer shall not be able to be reset after 14 days following the initial end-of-life signal.

LATCHING FEATURES

Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of smoke or carbon

monoxide. This feature will only work with AC power. See “Special Requirements for

Interconnected Alarms” for signaling. This feature helps emergency responders, investigators,

or service technicians identify which unit(s) in your home were exposed to alarm levels of

smoke or carbon monoxide. This can help investigators pinpoint the source of smoke or CO.

Interconnected Alarms. Latching Alarm Indicator shows which Alarm(s) in the series were

exposed to alarm levels of smoke or carbon monoxide. The Latching Alarm Indicator stays

ON until you clear it, so it can alert you to an alarm that occurred while you were away from

home, even though smoke or CO present in the air has dropped below alarm levels.

LATCHING FEATURES (CONTINUED)...

Low Battery Latch

is activated when the Alarm is in the “low battery condition”. When this

occurs, the Smoke/Power LED ashes Green On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds. This feature

is designed to help you identify which Alarm needs to have the battery replaced. Although, the

Alarm will sound the low battery chirp approximately once every minute, sometimes during the

initial stages of “low battery”, the Alarm will chirp in greater intervals than one minute, sometimes

up to several hours, until the battery reaches a steady low battery level. This innovative feature

eliminates the frustration of waiting for and/or identifying which unit is chirping.

Latching Alarm

Unit was exposed to

Alarm levels of smoke

Latching Not Activated

Unit was not exposed to

Alarm levels of smoke

“SMART INTERCONNECT” FEATURE

This Alarm includes “Smart Interconnect” which enables the Alarm to be interconnected with other

First Alert

and BRK Smoke, Heat, and “Smart Interconnect” CO Alarms. When smoke is detected, all

Alarms will sound the smoke horn pattern. When CO is detected, “Smart Interconnect” Alarms will

sound the CO horn pattern. Alarms that do not have the “Smart Interconnect” feature will remain silent

during a CO Alarm.

08 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are

exposed to heat (usually re). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly

ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more

energy efcient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproong

can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“u-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure. Exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

IMPORTANT!

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It Alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a

short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO

Alarm generally sounds an Alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is

this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in

time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but

become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young

children and pets may be the rst affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms

when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn

babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you

experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difcult to locate the source of CO

after an Alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difcult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difcult to locate the

source of CO. First Alert shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation

or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like:

portable heater, gas or wood

burning replace, gas kitchen range

or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufcient venting:

corroded or disconnected water

heater vent pipe, leaking chimney

pipe or ue, or cracked heat

exchanger, blocked or clogged

chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/

device: operating a barbecue grill

or vehicle in an enclosed area (like

a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor

conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air

with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, replace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home. Since these

conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

09 HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud Alarm before

carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute

for proper maintenance of home appliances.

TO HELP PREVENT CO PROBLEMS AND REDUCE THE RISK OF CO POISONING:

• Clean chimneys and ues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air ow.

Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions

can prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any

way that would block air ow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC

companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust

and scaling. Also check the ame on the burner and pilot lights. The ame should be blue. A yellow

ame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present. Keep the blower door

on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances.

Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or

on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a

backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a

window or a door. Opening windows and doors can signicantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make

sure you understand what to do if your CO Alarm sounds.

10 REGULATORY INFORMATION

FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every oor, in every

sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and

interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for details. For additional coverage, it is

recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, nished attics, and

basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make

sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS:

• On every level of your home, including nished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with doors closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each.

• If a hall is over 40 feet (12 meters) long, install an Alarm at each end.

• At the top of the rst-to-second level stairway, and at bottom of basement stairway.

IMPORTANT!

Specic requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region.

Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC

or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

11 REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO Alarms to sound when

exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per

million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the Alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the Alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the Alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to Alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

IMPORTANT!

CO Alarms are designed to Alarm before there is an immediate life threat. Since you cannot see or

smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4

hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes,

but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station Carbon

Monoxide Alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1. 2: “Carbon monoxide Alarms covered

by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources

such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-red

appliances, and replaces. CO Alarms are intended to Alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those

that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure. ” This CO Alarm

monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to Alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This

allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms

are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated to

detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false Alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm),

Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and

Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon

Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing

impaired residents. Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents

(CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan at least twice a year,

making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master re

escape planning and practice before holding a re drill at night when they are sleeping. If children

or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family

members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in re drill and

in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a re drill while family members are

sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and

to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries

are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not

installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit

breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical re that burns the electrical wires,

etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors. It will

only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other

obstructions may affect the rate at which CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are

usually closed at night, we recommend you install an Alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm,

or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the home. Example:

This Alarm device, installed on the second oor, may not sense smoke or CO in the basement For

this reason, one Alarm device may not give adequate early warning. Recommended minimum

protection is one Alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your

home. Some experts recommend battery powered smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with

interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The Alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL

standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the

bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been

drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even

persons who are awake may not hear the Alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed

doors. Noise from trafc, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent

alert persons from hearing the Alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are

hearing impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to Alarm before the re itself causes damage, injury, or death,

since smoke from some res may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include

persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, when a person’s clothing catches re

while cooking, res caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas, or incendiary

res where the re grows so rapidly that an occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly

located Smoke Alarms.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though this Smoke/CO Alarm warns

against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke, First Alert does not warrant or imply in any way

that they will protect lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all of its parts have

passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could

fail at any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately

if it is not operating properly.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this Smoke/CO Alarm has

limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of

the source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the Alarm device.
