Use and Care Manual

Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights,

electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place

in direct sunlight and keep out of insect infested areas.

Extreme temperatures will effect the sensitivity of the Smoke/

CO Alarm. 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), such as garages

and unfinished attics. Do not install in areas where the

relative humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away from doors

and windows that open to the outside.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless

the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and

found suitable for that purpose.

C. How to Install:

To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been

affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace by”

date (7 years from initial power up) in permanent marker

on the label. See Alarm Replacement section for additional

information.

Remove mounting plate from the back of the unit by holding

the rim of the mounting plate and twisting counterclockwise
