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
