•The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all smoke alarm func-
tions. DO NOT use any other test metho . Test smoke alarm week-
ly to ensure proper operation.
•This smoke alarm should be installed only by a qualified
electrician.
•This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single family
household only. In multi-family buil ings, each in ivi ual living unit
shoul have its own smoke alarms. Do not install in non-resi ential
buil ings or places which house many people like hotels, motels,
ormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, or group homes of any kin .
This smoke alarm is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
•Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of the home.
Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for many reasons. For example,
if a fire starts in a remote part of the home, on another level, in a chim-
ney, wall, roof, or on the other si e of a close oor, smoke may not
reach the smoke alarm in time to alert househol members. A smoke
alarm will not promptly etect a fire EXCEPT in the area or room in
which it is installe .
•Interconnected smoke alarms installed in every room and on every
level of the household offers maximum protection. We recommen
interconnecting smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm senses
smoke an soun s its alarm, all others will soun as well. Do not
interconnect smoke alarms from one in ivi ual family living unit to
another. Do not connect this smoke alarm to any other type of alarm or
auxiliary evice.
•Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time.
The alarm horn is lou in or er to alert in ivi uals of a potential
anger. However, there may be limiting circumstances where a
househol member may not hear the alarm (i.e. out oor or in oor
noise, soun sleepers, rug or alcohol usage, the hearing impaire ,
etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a househol
member, install an maintain specialty smoke alarms. Househol
members must hear the alarm’s warning soun an quickly respon to
it to re uce the risk of amage, injury, or eath that may result from
fire. If a househol member is hearing impaire , install special smoke
alarms with lights or vibrating evices to alert occupants.
•Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they detect
smoke. Smoke alarms etect combustion particles in the air. They o
not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm is esigne to give
au ible warning of a eveloping fire. However, many fires are
fast-burning, explosive, or intentional. Others are cause by
carelessness or safety hazar s. Smoke may not reach the smoke
alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
•Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not fool-proof
an is not warrante to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke
alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners an renters
shoul insure their lives an property. In a ition, it is possible for the
smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test the
smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.
SSMMOOKKEE AALLAARRMM PPLLAACCEEMMEENNTT
