This model is battery operated and features a non-replaceable, sealed-in battery and SMART HUSHTM Control to temporarily silence nuisance alarms. Important: Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this user guide which should be saved for future reference and passed on to any subsequent owner.

1. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants. • Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.
1. LIMITATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • IMPORTANT: This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas. CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been fixed.
ANYWHERE ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE 30.5 cm Locations permitted for smoke alarms and smoke detectors on tray-shaped ceilings. ANYWHERE ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE 30.5 cm Locations permitted for smoke alarms and smoke detectors on tray-shaped ceilings. FIGURE 1 Smoke or Smoke/CO Alarms for Required Protection FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.
barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION section. • When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from the side wall. • When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling. • Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.
ventilation openings • Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above. In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.
OPTION 2: Mounting on Other Surfaces 1. Choose a mounting location (wall or ceiling) and using the mounting plate provided as a template, mark threehole locations. 2. Install the three provided screws through the mounting plate and tighten. DO NOT over-tighten screws. (If mounting in plasterboard or similar surface, drill 3/16” holes and use the plastic anchors provided.) Anchors are not required for mounting on hard surfaces such as wood.
5. OPERATION AND TESTING OPERATION: The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete. The photoelectric smoke sensor monitors the air for the presence of products of combustion. When these levels exceed the alarm threshold the alarm will sound, and be accompanied by the blinking red LED light, and voice message. The carbon monoxide (CO) sensor monitors the air for the presence of CO.
6. Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators Alarm Mode Visual Indications Audible Indications Smoke or Fire detected 3 blinks synchronized with audible alarm 3 long beeps, voice message "Fire!", 3 long beeps, repeating. Carbon Monoxide detected 4 blinks syncronized with audible alarm 4 quick beeps, voice message "Warning! Carbon Monoxide", repeating(First 4-5 minutes - The repeating pattern is 4 quick beeps, "Warning! Carbon Monoxide", 4 quick beeps.
7. NUISANCE AND HUSH This Smoke alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling.
If the smoke is not too dense, after ten minutes the alarm will return to normal operation. NOTE: Dense smoke will override the SMART HUSHTM feature and sound a continuous alarm. CAUTION: Before using the alarm SMART HUSHTM feature, identify the source of the smoke and be certain safe conditions exist. 8. BATTERY BATTERY ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION NOTE: This alarm is powered by a sealed lithium battery system. No battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm.
TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM: Remove the alarm from the mounting plate by rotating it in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cover of the alarm. On back side of alarm, locate the area on product label. Break through label with a screw driver. Turn the screw to the “OFF” location. This will deactivate the alarm, stop the low battery “chirp” and render the alarm safe for disposal by draining the battery.
CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel: gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not ventilated correctly, such as: Possible sources include furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.
women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are especially vulnerable. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are experienced seek medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be determined by a carboxyhemoglobin test. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: 1. Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu-like” symptoms). 2.
ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, after shave, perfume, and some cleaning agents. • Move the Smoke/CO Alarm and place in another location prior to performing any of the following: • Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture • Painting • Wall papering • Using adhesives Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the above projects will protect the sensors from damage.
• Current studies have shown smoke/CO alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. • Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
SMOKE DETECTION – ARE MORE SMOKE ALARMS DESIRABLE? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection.
TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Kidde warrants that the enclosed alarm will be free from defects in material and workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.
