moke Alarm
The smoke alarm monitors the air for pro ucts of combustion
that are pro uce when something is burning or smol ering.
When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specifie
concentration, the alarm/voice message warning system will
soun , an be accompanie by the flashing re LED light. The
smoke alarm takes prece ence when both smoke an carbon
monoxi e are present.
WARNING: PLEA E READ CAREFULLY AND
THOROUGHLY
NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in resi ential occupancies is
base primarily on early notification to occupants of the nee to
escape, followe by the appropriate egress actions by those
occupants. Fire warning systems for welling units are capable of
protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.
Victims are often intimate with the fire, too ol or young, or
physically or mentally impaire such that they cannot escape
even when warne early enough that escape shoul be possible.
For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or
assiste escape or rescue are necessary.
• Smoke alarms are evices that can provi e early warning of
possible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have
sensing limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may etect
invisible fire particles (associate with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
etect visible fire particles (associate with slow smol ering
fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires evelop in
ifferent ways an are often unpre ictable. For maximum
protection, Ki e recommen s that both Ionization an
Photoelectric alarms be installe .
• A battery powere alarm must have a battery of the specifie
type, in goo con ition an installe properly.
• Smoke alarms must be teste regularly to make sure the
batteries an the alarm circuits are in goo operating
con ition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provi e an alarm if smoke oes not
reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires
starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other si e of a
close oor or on a ifferent floor.

• If the alarm is locate outsi e the be room or on a ifferent
floor, it may not wake up a soun sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or rugs may also impair one’s ability to hear
the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm
shoul be installe in each sleeping area on every level of a
home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by provi ing an
early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Home owners an renters shoul have
a equate insurance to protect their lives an property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The Carbon Monoxi e (CO) alarm monitors the air for the
presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of CO
present, an when there are low levels of CO present over a
longer perio of time (see page 21 for alarm times). When a CO
con ition matches either of these situations, the alarm/voice
message warning system will soun , an be accompanie by the
flashing re LED light. The carbon monoxi e sensor uses an
electrochemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of
carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.
In ivi uals with me ical problems may consi er using warning
evices which provi e au ible an visual signals for carbon
monoxi e concentrations un er 30 ppm.

Installation Guide:
I PORTANT: THIS ALAR UST BE OUNTED ON A
CEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A
TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!
A. Recommended Installation Locations:
Ki e Safety recommen s the installation of a Smoke/CO Alarm
in the following locations. For maximum protection we suggest
an alarm be installe on each level of a multilevel home,
inclu ing every be room, hallways, finishe attics an
basements. Put alarms at both en s of be room, hallway or large
room if hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1m) long. If you
have only one alarm, ensure it is place in the hallway outsi e of
the main sleeping area, or in the main be room. Verify the alarm
can be hear in all sleeping areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the
oor close . The close oor may prevent an alarm not locate
in that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat an
combustion pro ucts rise to the ceiling an sprea horizontally.
Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room
places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is
preferre in or inary resi ential construction. When mounting an
alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum
of 4” (10cm) from the
si e wall (see figure
1). If installing the
alarm on the wall, use
an insi e wall with the
top e ge of the alarm
at a minimum of 4”
(10cm) an a maximum
of 12” (30.5cm) below
the ceiling (see figure
1).

The following information is from the National Fire Protection
Association an is liste in Fire Co e 72.
Install Smoke Alarms on slope , peake or cathe ral ceilings at,
or within 3 ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measure horizontally).
NFPA 72 states “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes
greater than 1 ft to 8 ft (.3 m-2.4 m) horizontally shall be locate
on the high si e of the room”.
NFPA 72 states “A row of alarms shall be space an locate
within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the peak of the ceiling measure
horizontally” (see figure 2).
Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shape ceilings (coffere ceilings)
on the highest portion of the ceiling or on the slope portion of
the ceiling within 30.5 cm (12”) vertically own from the highest

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALAR !
Determining what type of alarm has soun e is easy with your
Combination Smoke/CO Alarm. The voice message warning
system will inform you of the type of situation occurring. Refer
to the Features section on pages 4-7 for a etaile escription of
each alarm pattern.
What To Do If The Alarm ounds
When the smoke alarm sounds:
Smoke alarms are esigne to minimize false alarms. Cigarette
smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is
blown irectly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking
may set off the alarm if locate too close to the cooking area.
Large quantities of combustible particles are generate from
spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hoo which
vents to the outsi e (non recirculating type) will also help remove
these combustible pro ucts from the kitchen.
