CELLULAR COMBINATION SMOKE/CO DETECT OR

MODEL NO. LASCD‐01

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This installation instruction guide will introduce you to the basic features, operations, and safety considerations of the Life Alert Cellular combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector. Please take

the time to thoroughly read this guide and save it for future reference. The detector is designed to automatically and independently sense both smoke (not flame) and CO gas in an ordinary residential

environment. It provides an early warning of d eveloping smoke and CO events by sounding a built-in 85 decibel alarm siren and transmitting an alarm signal to the Life Alert Monitoring Center.

CAUTION!! This device will only indicate the presence of smoke and CO gas at the sensor. Smoke and CO gas may be present in other areas of the residence.

Effective pre-warning of smoke and CO events is only possible if the detector is located, installed and maintained as described here in this guide. If you have any questions about this device, please

contact the Life Alert Technical Service Department at 1-800-451-7858. 16027 Ventura Blvd. Suite 400 Encino CA 91436, U.S.A

The Smoke/CO detector will operate and alert you to the following conditions in the manner described here:

FEATURES

SMOKE ALARM: Utilizing photoelectric technology, the smoke sensor monitors the air for products of combustion

that are produced when something is burning or smoldering. When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specified concentration, the alarm siren will sound. The alarm pattern is three (3) short

alarm sirens with three (3) corresponding flashes of the red LED light. This pattern will repeat until the smoke event is eliminated. The smoke a larm will take precedence when both smoke and CO are

present. For increased protection, Life Alert recommends that both ionization and photoelectric detectors be installed in the residence.

CO ALARM: Utilizing electrochemical technology, the CO sensor monitors the air for the presence of carbon monoxide. When there are high levels of CO present, or low levels of CO present over a

longer period of time, the alarm siren will sound. The alarm pattern is four (4) long alarm sirens with four (4) corresponding flashes of the red LED light. This pattern will repeat until the CO event is

eliminated. The CO sensor is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. IT IS NOT

DESIGNED TO DETECT ANY OTHER GAS.

TEST BUTTONS: To conduct a local test, push the two test buttons at the same time to verify proper smoke and CO sensor operation. If both test buttons are pressed, the alarm pattern is one (1) short

alarm siren with one (1) corresponding steady flash of the red LED light.

LOW BATTERY: The device is powered by three (3) AA Energizer L91 lithium batteries. When the batteries are low and need to be replaced, the device will chirp once and the amber LED light will flash

once every fifty (50) seconds. The pattern will repeat until the batteries are removed (and replaced) or the batteries cease functioning.

SMOKE TROUBLE: When there is a trouble issue with the smoke sensor, the device will chirp three (3) times and the amber LED light will flash once every fifty (50) seconds.

SMOKE LOW SENSITIVITY: When there is a low sensitivity issue with the smoke sensor, the device will chirp two (2) times and the amber LED light will flash once every fifty (50) seconds.

CO TROUBLE: When there is a trouble issue with the CO sensor, the device will chirp once and the amber LED light will flash two (2) times every fifty (50) seconds.

END OF PRODUCT LIFE: After five (5) years o f cumulative use, the device will chirp once and the amber LED light will flash four (4) times every fifty (50) seconds. This indicates that the device must be

replaced immediately as it may not be able to detect CO in this condition. Please call the Life Alert Technical Service Department at 1-800-451-7858 for further assistance.

WHERE TO INSTALL: Before installing your Smoke/CO detector, it is important to choose the best locations in your home. Placement will affect how well the device performs and how well residents

hear the alarm siren if it sounds. For maximum protection, Life Alert recommends a Smoke/CO detector be installed on each level of a multi-level home,

including every bedroom, hallways, finished

attics and basements. Install a detector in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. A closed door may prevent a detector not located in that room from waking the occupant.

For bedrooms, hallways, or large rooms greater than 30 feet (9.1 m) in length, install detectors at both ends of the room or hallway. For additional protection, place additional Smoke/CO

detectors between 5 and 20 feet from potential sources of CO, such as a furnace, water heater or fireplace.

If you only have one detector, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside of the main sleeping area, or in the main bedroom. Verify that the detector can be heard in all sleeping areas. Do not

install the Smoke/CO detector in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, fireplaces, bathrooms, or unfinished attics. Ke ep the device at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from any fuel-burning equipment.

Keep the device at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the following: a door to a kitchen or bathroom (that contains a tub or shower), air conditioners or forced air supply ducts used for heating or

cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. Keep the detector away from d rapes or other objects that may block airflow to the sensors. Do not place the device

in the direct sunlight or near doors and windows that open up to the outside. Install the detector at least 1 foot (0.3 m) away from fluorescent lights. Do not install in areas where the

temperature is colder than 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius) or hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius) as extreme temperature will affect the sensitivity of the Smoke/CO

detector. Do not install in areas where the relative humidity is greater than 85%. Avoid excessively dirty, dusty, or greasy areas. Dirt, dust, grease, or household chemicals can contaminate

the device’s sensors, causing it to not operate properly. Make sure to keep the detector away from any insect infested areas.

CEILING OR WALL INSTALLATION: Ceiling mounting is preferred in an ordinary residential environment. Smoke, heat and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.

Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room. When mounting a detector on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) from

the side wall (see Figure 3). If installing the detector on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the device at a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30.5 cm)

below the ceiling (see Figure 4).

SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATION: According to the National Fire Protection A ssociation (NFPA) Fire Code 72, one should install smoke detectors on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilingsat

or within 3 feet (0.9 m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). Do not install the Smoke/ CO detector in the peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame c eilings, or gabled roofs (see Figure 4).

Smoke detectors in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 to 8 feet (0.3 to 2.4 m) horizontally should be located on the high side of the room. A rrow of detectors should be spaced and

located with 3 feet (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally.

REMOVING THE BRACKET: Remove the bracket from the back of the Smoke/CO detector by holding the rim of the bracket and twisting it counter-clockwise (to the left) as shown here. Once removed, proceed to install the batteries. The Smoke/CO detector requires three (3) AA Energizer L91 lithium batteries. Open the battery covers and insert a battery into each of the three compartments. The battery polarity markings on the cover and inside of each battery compartment must be adhered to.

IF SMOKE ALARM ACTIVATES: Never ignore the sound of the alarm. Check for signs of fire or smoke throughout the residence. If a fire is discovered, follow the steps listed below. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with these items and review them with all of your family members. -Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very soundly and may not be awakened by the sound of smoke or CO alarms. -Leave immediately using one of your predetermined escape routes. Every second counts.
