01 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing First Alert

for your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm needs. You have purchased a state-of-the-art Smoke

& Carbon Monoxide Alarm designed to help provide you with early warning of a smoke and/or carbon monoxide danger. Please take

the time to read this manual and make the Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm an integral part of your family’s safety plan.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT!

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special

attention to these items.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is designed for marine or RV use.NOT

! CAUTION!

• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate Alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect re or any

other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other

areas. The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to

sense gas, heat or ames.

! WARNING!

• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries. Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to replace the

batteries at the end of their service life, removes your protection.

• ignore any Alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for more information on how to respond to an Alarm. Failure to NEVER

respond can result in injury or death.

• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. See “Using the Silence Features” for details.

Always check your home for a potential problem after any Alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

• Test this Smoke/CO Alarm once a week. If the Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the Alarm is not

working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in

compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with

medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider using warning devices which provide

audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide and

your medical condition contact your physician.

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 unit to install, refer to NFPA (National Fire Protection

Association) 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. They do not, however, 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.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, 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 Smoke 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 will damage the Alarm

UPS type, please 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. These units 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 level, 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 level 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 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.

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

• 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 CO or 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

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or

lighters away from children; 3) Store ammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and

don’t overload electrical circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, replaces and chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave

anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open ames, like candles, away from ammable materials; 8)

Don’t let rubbish accumulate. 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 re. Keep at least one working re extinguisher on every level, and an additional

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

Type of Alarm What You Will See & Hear

Carbon Monoxide (CO) CO LED: Horn: Flashes Red; 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps

Smoke Smoke LED: Horn: Flashes Red; 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR” If you hear the CO Alarm horn and the CO red light is ashing, move everyone to a

source of fresh air. remove the batteries!DO NOT

! 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.”

IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS:

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 result in injury or death.NEVER

• 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 deactivate the unit to quiet an unwanted Alarm. Deactivating the Alarm disables the unit 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. Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds. After the Test/Silence

button is released, the Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

Activate the Alarm test, reset or silence function by use of a nger or thumb. Use of any other instrument is strictly prohibited.

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.

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.

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. “Airtight” 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.

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.

09 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 level, 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.

10 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).

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of re detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as

follows: A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms

in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, nished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms,

basements, and attached garages.

12 SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities,

boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary re detection system already exists to meet re detection

requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide

sufcient warning to all residents or meet local re protection ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete re detection systems in places housing many people—like

apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities,

or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete re detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities,

commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special re detection and Alarm systems.

Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC,

AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specied by local building codes. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72 (National Fire Protection Association,

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). Refer to NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for

detailed re protection requirements in buildings not dened as “households”.

HUD MAP PROGRAM

Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family

Accelerated Processing), may require a 10-Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This Alarm does not meet that requirement.

Substitute First Alert SA340B.

13 GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial 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 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.

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.
