WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS SMOKE ALARM ACTIVATION Smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps repeating. • Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help. • Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables. • In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface.

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.

ANYWHERE ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE 30.5 cm ANYWHERE ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE 30.5 cm Locations permitted for smoke alarms and smoke detectors on tray-shaped ceilings. Locations permitted for smoke alarms and smoke detectors on tray-shaped ceilings. FIGURE 1 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.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal 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.
PAGE 7
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air 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. When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared. TESTING: Test your alarm by pressing the test button until the unit chirps, then release the test button. The unit will then emit 2 sets of three slow beeps. Model P3010B will also issue a voice prompt stating “Fire Fire”. Model P3010H will briefly illuminate the amber safety light.

To activate, press the Test/Hush button. While in the End of Life Hush® mode, the alarm will still detect Smoke. The End of Life signal can be reset a maximum of 10 times for a total of 30 days. After 10 resets the end of life signal can no longer be silenced and the alarm must be replaced immediately. 7. NUISANCE ALARMS 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.
PAGE 12
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: One Lithium-Ion battery, permanently sealed inside the alarm, powers this unit; no battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm. IMPORTANT: Constant exposure to high or low humidity may reduce battery life.
PAGE 13
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. 10.
