This user's manual contains important information about
your smoke and cO alarm's operation. lf you are
installing this smoke and CO alarm for use by others, you
must leave this manual or a copy of it with the end user.
Photoelectric alarms are generally more effective at
detecting slow, smoldering fires that smolder for hours
before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may
include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
lonization alarms are generally more effective at detecting
fast, flaming fires that consume combustible materials
rapidly and spread quickly.Sources of these fires may
include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste
container.
For maximum protection, it is recommended to install

licensed, qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local
and national electrical and building codes for installation.
This smoke and CO alarm lS NOT designed to be the
PRIMARY protection for buildings that require complete
fire alarm systems.Buildings of this type include hotels,
motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, and group
homes.This is true even if they were once single family
homes. However, this smoke and CO alarm MAY be used
inside individual rooms as SUPPL EMENTAL protection.
lnstall a smoke and CO alarm in every room and on every
level of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke and
CO alarm for many reasons.For example, if a fire starts in
a remote part of the home, on another level, in a chimney,
wall , roof , or on the other side of a closed door, smoke
may not reach the smoke and CO alarm in time to alert
household members.A smoke and CO alarm will not
promptly detect a fire EXCEPT in the area or room in
which it is installed.
Smoke and CO alarms may not alert every household
member every time.The alarm horn is oud in order to alert
individuals to a potential danger. However, there may be
limiting circumstances where a household member may
not hear the alarm (i.e., outdoor or indoor noise, sound
sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.).
lf you suspect that this smoke and CO alarm may not alert
a household member, install and maintain specialty smoke
and cO alarm. Household members must hear the alarm's
warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk
of damage, injury, or death that may result from fire. lf a
household member is hard of hearing, install special
smoke and CO alarm with lights or vibrating devices to
alert occupants.
Smoke and cO alarms can sound their alarms only
when they detect smoke. smoke and CO alarms

detect combustion particles in the air.They do not
sense heat, flame, or gas.This smoke and CO alarm
is designed to give audible warning of a developing
fire.However, many fires are fast-burning, explosive,
or intentional. Others are caused by carelessness or
safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke and
CO alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe
escape.smoke and CO alarms have limitations.This
smoke and CO alarm is not foolproof and is not
warranted to protect lives or property from fire. smoke
and CO alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners and renters should insure their lives
and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke
and Co alarm to fail at any time.For this reason, you
must test the smoke and CO alarm weekly and
replace every 10 years.
As a minimum, smoke and CO alarms should be
located between sleeping areas and potential sources
of fire such as living rooms and kitchens.In single
story homes with one sleeping area, a smoke and CO
alarm should be installed in the hallway, as close as
possible to the living accommodation. To ensure
audibility in bedrooms, no smoke and CO alarm
should be further away than 3m from any bedroom
door. It may be necessary to install more than one
smoke and CO alarm, particularly the hallway is more
than 15m long. ln single story homes with two separate
sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke and CO
alarms is required, one outside each sleeping area. ln
multilevel or split level homes, as a minimum a smoke

and CO alarm should be installed on the ground floor
between the staircase and any rooms in which a fire
might start and on each story in circulation areas which
form part of escape route (normally hallways and
landings).
Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in
anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty
wiring, lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards.
For best protection,smoke and CO alarms should be
installed in every room in your home, apart from those
listed in the Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID. Heat
alarms should be used in kitchens, boiler rooms,
laundry, rooms, garages and such like, where smoke
and CO alarms would be unsuitable.
Install smoke and CO alarms in circulation areas at a
distance no greater than 7.5m from the farthest wall,
no greater than 7.5m from a door to any room in which
a fire might start and no greater than 7.5m from the
next smoke and CO alarm.
As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the
best location for an alarm is usually the center of a
room or hallway. If it is necessary to place a smoke
and cO alarm on a wall, always locate the detection
element of the alarm 150mm to 300mm(6 to 12
inches) below the ceiling and the bottom of the alarm
above the level of doors and other openings.
In rooms with simple sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings,
install smoke and CO alarms on the ceiling 900mm
(3feet) from the highest point of the ceiling. "Dead air
at the peak of a ceiling may prevent the smoke from
reaching the alarm in time to provide an early warning.

NOTE: These guidelines will assist you in the event
of a fire.However, to reduce the chance that fires will
start, practice fire safety rules and prevent hazardous
situations.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not
awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the
responsibility of individuals in the household that are
capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound,
or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.

12.LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE AND CO ALARM
Smoke and CO alarms have played a key role in reducing
deaths resulting from home fires worldwide. However, like any
warning device, smoke and cO alarms can only work if they
are properly located, installed , and maintained , and if smok
ereaches the Alarms.They are not foolproof.
12.1 Smoke and CO alarms may not wake everyone up.
Sleeping children or others are less likely to be awakened
by the sound of a smoke/carbon monoxide alarm, or a
family member with a baby or mobility problems needs
someone to help them escape.Practice your escape plan
every year. It is recommended that you do it while your
family is asleep.Always let your child master the escape
plan and practice before the fire drill at night.
12.2 Smoke and CO alarms cannot work without power.
Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are
dead.Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make
sure the battery and the alarm circuits are in good
operating condition.
12.3 Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does
not reach the alarm. Smoke from fires in chimneys or
walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors may
not reach bedroom or sleeping area-especially if bedroom
or sleeping area doors are closed at night and in the
hallway between them.
12.4 smoke and CO alarms may not have time to alarm
before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since
smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately.
Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children
playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions
resulting from escaping gas.
12.5 smoke and CO alarms are not foolproof.Like any
