Owner's Manual

•
This smoke alarm is
not
intended
to
alert
hearing impaired residents. Alarms
specifically designed
for
the hearing impaired,
which
feature
devices like flashing strobe
lights or low frequency devices are available
to
alert
the
hearing impaired in case
of
fire.
•
This smoke alarm alone is not a suitable
substitute
for
complete
fire
detection
systems in places housing many
people-
like
apartment
buildings, condominiums,
hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals,
long-term health care facilities, nursing
homes, day care facilities, or group homes
of
any
kind-even
if
they
were once single-
family
homes.
It
is
not
a suitable
substitute
for
complete
fire
detection
systems in
warehouses,
industrial
facilities,
commercial
buildings, and special-purpose non-
residential buildings which require special
fire
detection
and alarm systems. Depending
on
the
building codes in your area,
this
smoke
alarm may be used
to
provide additional
protection
in these facilities.

do
in

monoxide
alarm"
for
more information. Failure

This
CO
alarm is designed
for
use inside a
single-family home or apartment.
It
is not
meant
to
be
used in common lobbies, hallways,
or basements
of
multi-family
buildings unless
working
CO
alarms are also installed
in
each
family living unit.
CO
alarms
in
common areas
may not be heard from inside individual family
living units.
•
This
CO
alarm alone is not a suitable
substitute
for
complete detection systems
in
places
which house many people, like hotels or
dormitories, unless a
CO
alarm is also placed
in each unit.
•
DO
NOT
use
this
CO
alarm
in
warehouses,
industrial or commercial buildings, special
purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes.
This
CO
alarm
is
specifically designed
for
residential use, and may not provide adequate
protection in non-residential applications.
• Some
individuals are more sensitive
to
CO
than others, including people
with
cardiac or
respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies,
pregnant mothers, or elderly people can
be
more quickly and severely
affected
by
CO.
Members
of
sensitive populations should
consult
their
doctors
for
advice
on
taking
additional precautions.
•
The silence feature is
for
your convenience
only and
will
not correct a
CO
problem. Always
check your home
for
a potential problem
after
any alarm. Failure
to
do
so
can result
in
injury
or death.
