Smoke Alarm Features

•These smoke alarms are powered by 120V AC (Model G)

or 120V AC with a 9-volt battery back-up source (Model

alarm will sound a short beep about once a minute if the

battery is weak or improperly connected on Model AD.

alarm is receiving AC power, working under normal opera-

tion, and/or in alarm (Model AD only).

Important Safety Information

•This smoke alarm requires constant 120-volt, AC power

AND (Model AD only) a working 9-volt battery to operate

properly. This smoke alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is

not connected or has failed or been interrupted for any

reason AND (Model AD only) the battery is removed,

drained, or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other

kind of battery except as specified in this manual (Model

AD only). DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other

type of smoke alarm or auxiliary device, except those list-

ed in this manual.

•DO NOT remove or disconnect battery or turn off AC

power to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your

protection. Open windows or fan the air around smoke

alarm to silence it.

•The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all smoke alarm

functions. DO NOT use any other test method. Test

smoke alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.

•This smoke alarm should be installed only by a licensed,

qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and

national electrical and building codes for installation.

• This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single-

family household. In multi-family buildings, each individual

living unit should have its own alarms. It is not a substitute

for a complete commercial alarm system. It should be used

only as supplemental protection in hotels, motels, dormito-

ries, hospitals, nursing homes, or group homes.

•Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of

the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for

INSTALLER: Please leave this manual with the product.

The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting

fast, flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and

spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable

liquids or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric

type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smolder-

ing fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame.

Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or

bedding. However, both types of alarms are designed to provide

adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire the benefits

of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine in

one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.
