Instruction manual

Smoke detectors may not sense res that start where smoke cannot reach

the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side

of closed doors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, detectors

should be placed in each bedroom as well as in the common hallway

between them.

Smoke detectors also may not sense a re on another level of the residence

or building. For example, a second-oor detector may not sense a rst-

oor or basement re. Therefore, detectors should be placed on every

level of a residence or building.

The horn in your detector has been tested by ETL to comply with UL 217

(US). However, if the detector is located outside a bedroom, it may not

wake a sound sleeper, especially if the bedroom door is closed or only partly

open. If the detector is located on a different level of the residence than the

bedrooms, it is even less likely to wake up people sleeping in the bedrooms.

In such cases, the National Fire Protection Association recommends that

the detectors be interconnected so that all detectors sound an alarm when

any one of the detectors sense smoke.

All types of smoke detectors have limitations. No type of smoke detector
