SMOKE ALARMS MUST NOT BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS UNLESS THE COMBINATION OF ALARM AND GUARD HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE. 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, smoldering 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. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SMOKE ALARM • Before installing your smoke alarm, you must read this entire Owner’s Manual. • Install a smoke alarm in each room and area of your home. See “WHERE YOU SHOULD INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS.” • Smoke alarms cannot give you an early warning of fire or smoke unless you install, use and maintain them by following these instructions. • You must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury or death that may result from a fire. • Your smoke alarm is packaged with the battery disconnected. Connect it to the battery leads before mounting the smoke alarm. • A smoke alarm will not work without a good battery installed correctly. The smoke alarm must be tested when a new battery is installed and every week after that. • A smoke alarm that beeps about once per minute means the battery is weak, and you need a new battery. • A smoke alarm should never be used, in any case, for more than 10 years. • Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time. There may be limiting circumstances where a household member may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member, install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Current studies have shown smoke 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. WHAT SMOKE ALARMS CAN DO Smoke alarms can only HELP protect your home and family against loss from a fire. The best protection is obtained by installing smoke alarms in each room, and each other area of the home, making sure the people in the home will be able to hear and respond to the alarm sound. Your smoke alarm meets or exceeds the requirements for audibility, or loudness, set by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. WARNING: SMOKE ALARMS MAY GIVE YOU A WARNING OF FIRE AND SMOKE, BUT ONLY IF YOU INSTALL, USE AND MAINTAIN THEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 1 WHAT SMOKE ALARMS WILL NOT DO A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Your smoke alarm needs a good battery that is installed correctly to work. A smoke alarm will not work if its battery is missing, dead or put in wrong. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT SENSE A FIRE WHEN THE SMOKE CANNOT REACH THE ALARM. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, the other side of a closed door, or any other isolated area, the smoke alarm may not sense the smoke and will not give a warning. If you do not have an alarm in the bedroom, and sleep with the door closed, a fire inside the bedroom may not sound the alarm located in another room. Therefore, a smoke alarm must be placed both inside and outside all bedrooms. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT PROMPTLY SENSE A FIRE EXCEPT IN THE AREA OR ROOM IN WHICH THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED. FOR EXAMPLE: A. A SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT SENSE A FIRE ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF A RESIDENCE OR BUILDING. A second-floor smoke alarm may not detect a fire on the first floor or in the basement of a building. Therefore, smoke alarms must be installed on every floor or level of your home or building. B. IF THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN THE BEDROOMS, OR IN AN ISOLATED AREA OF THE HOUSE OR RESIDENCE, IT IS LESS LIKELY TO WAKE UP PEOPLE SLEEPING IN THE BEDROOMS. You should use both battery-powered and direct-wired 120-volt AC-powered smoke alarms. Since A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER, having alarms that will work from two different power sources can give you extra protection in case of a dead battery, or an AC power failure. Using a smoke alarm in a smoky area like a kitchen, or in a high humidity area near a shower, can cause false alarms. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR BATTERY TO QUIET THE ALARM. DO NOT TAKE THE ALARM DOWN. DO NOT SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE ALARM. IF YOU HAVE A FALSE ALARM, TRY WAVING A TOWEL NEAR THE ALARM TO CLEAR T...
