Introduction
All X-Sense combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarms conform with
regulatory requirements, including UL 217 & UL 2034 standards and are designed to
detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally
more sensitive than ionization technology. It is effective at detecting large
particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires and
may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may
include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless, tasteless and invisible — it's a silent killer. Using
electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect increased levels of
carbon monoxide early, protecting your family from the dangers of carbon
monoxide.
Note: For maximum protection, use smoke & CO alarms on each level and in
every bedroom of your home. 0

THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72
(National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA02269).
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!
Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your X-Sense
combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. The alarm sounder will inform you of
the type of situation occurring.
When the Smoke Alarm Sounds:
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not
normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm.
This unit contains nuisance alarm protection, which will reduce the impact of
cooking particles. However, large quantities of combustible particles from spills
or broiling could still cause the unit to alarm. Careful location of the unit away
from the kitchen area will give the maximum nuisance alarm protection.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if located too close to
the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from
spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the
outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible
products from the kitchen. If the alarm sounds, check for fires first. If a fire is
discovered, follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with these items,
and review with all family members!
*Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very sound and may not be
awakened by the sound of the smoke alarms.
*Leave immediately using one of your planned escape routes. Every second
counts, so don't stop to get dressed or pick up valuables.

*Before opening inside doors, look for smoke seeping in around the edges, and
feel with the back of your hand. If the door is hot, use your second exit. If you
feel it's safe, open the door very slowly and be prepared to close immediately if
smoke and heat rush in.
*lf the escape route requires you to go through smoke, crawl low under the
smoke where the air is clearer.
*Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two people have arrived, one
should leave to call 911 from a neighbor's home, and the other should stay to
perform a head count.
*Do not reenter under any circumstance until fire officials give the go-ahead.
*There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect
against fire as noted by the NFPA and UL Std. 217. For instance:
- Smoking in bed.
- Leaving children unsupervised.
- Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
- Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example,
when a person's clothes catch fire while cooking.
- Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due to a
closed door or other obstruction.
- Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's egress is
blocked even with properly located detectors.

WARNING:
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
When the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounds:
(1) Operate the test/reset button.
(2) Call your emergency services (Fire Dept. or 911). PHONE NUMBER
(3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a
head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency
services responders have arrived, the premises has been aired out, and your
alarm remains in its normal condition.
(4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates PHONE NUMBER
within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and calla
qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning
equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced
immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician
and consult the manufacturer's instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly,
for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent
to the residence.

Product Overview
J CAUTION!
THIS SMOKE AND CO ALARM IS DESIGNED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT KNOCK OR DROP THE ALARM. DO NOT OPEN OR TAMPER
WITH THE ALARM AS THIS COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTION.
Test & Silence Button
The Test & Silence button is used to test the unit's electronics and to silence the
unit during an alarm. When testing the alarm weekly, you should first wake up
your alarm by pressing the test button; once the alarm has woken up, the LCD
display will activate, then press the test button again until you hear a short
beep, indicating that the alarm has entered the test mode. To save power, the
alarm is designed to automatically turn off the LCD display if there has been no
operation for 5 minutes.
Note: After a test has begun, the alarm will sound and the red LED will flash. This
does not indicate that smoke/CO is present.
If you press the test button during an alarm state, the unit will enter the silence
mode.
CO silence mode: press the test button during an alarm state, the unit will enter the
silence mode. If the CO density still exceeds the alarm threshold within 6 minutes,
the unit will enter another alarm state. Otherwise, the unit will exit from silence
mode after 9 minutes.
Note: If the smoke or CO concentration has reached an alarm level, silence mode
cannot be enabled. This unit will continue to alarm until the smoke or CO
concentration has decreased to a low level.

Alarm Sounder
The alarm will sound when there is smoke or CO present, when testing the
alarm, and when there is a fault.
LED Indicator
The LED indicator will flash in conjunction with the alarm sounder. Therefore, it
will flash during the following states: when powering on, in standby mode,
during smoke or CO alarm states, when exiting an alarm state, during test
mode, when there is low battery, in silence mode, when there is a fault and
when the unit is at the end of its life.
Low Battery
The LED indicator will flash yellow together with one beep every 60 seconds.
THE UNIT MUST BE DEACTIVATED (see "Deactivation of the Alarm" section) AND
REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
(If you press the test button when there is low battery, the low battery signal will
temporarily cease for 10 hours; if you press the test button again, the unit will enter
the test mode and then the standby mode.)
End of Life
Once the maximum lifetime (10 years) is reached, the alarm delivers 2 beeps and
the LED indicator will flash yellow twice every 30 seconds. This end-of-life signal
can be temporarily silenced for 3 days by pressing the test button.
The end-of-life silence feature can only be used for a total of 30 days. After 30
days, the end-of-life signal cannot be silenced.
