IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern:

3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. The Escape Light

will tur

n on.

LED flashes once ever

y second.

•

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

•

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. NEVER ignor

e any alarm. Ignoring the

alar

m may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke Alarm

to stop an unwanted alar

m (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alar

m so it cannot sense smoke,

and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the

smoke away fr

om the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM

Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or

weak batteries, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm

cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as

described in “Regular Maintenance,” and install a fresh battery, then test

the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test

button, or if the problem persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.

• If you hear a “chirp” about once a minute, replace the battery.

•

If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those

caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.

• If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or

elocating the Smoke Alar

m. The cover may be dir

ty.

•

If the alar

m does not sound during testing, tr

y installing a new

battery, and make sure it is snapped in securely.

• The Escape Light

bulb is not replaceable. In the unlikely event

that the Escape Light

does not operate during testing, please

obtain war

ranty ser

vice.

If the Smoke Alarm is still not operating pr

operly

, and it is still under

warranty, please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited

Warranty.

Do not try fixing the alarm yourself – this will void your warranty!

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR

SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one

Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bed-

room. 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, finished attics, and basements,

where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C) and 100˚ F

(38˚ 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 finished 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 first-to-second floor stairway, and at bottom of

basement stairway

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to

state and fr

om r

egion to r

egion. Check with your local Fir

e Department

for curr

ent requirements in your area.

It is r

ecommended AC or AC/DC

units be interconnected for added protection.

See “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” diagram on the

following page.

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

essed 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 thr

ough 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 sur

e 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.

Alarms have various limitations. See "Limitations of Smoke Alarms"

for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to

15 minutes. To use this feature, press the “Push to Test/Silence” button

on the cover.

If the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is

present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be

replaced immediately. The LED will flash every 10 seconds while in

silence.

The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily

less sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is

dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, the unit

will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly. If you do not know the

source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alarm. Not

responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death.
