1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds Smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating. The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern, and the Strobe flashes every second. •• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help. •• Leave immediately by your escape plan.
2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds NOTE: This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO alarm signal (with voice message) from an interconnected CO or combination smoke / CO alarm. Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps with voice “Warning! Carbon Monoxide” repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern. The Strobe will flash 4 times every 5 seconds.
3. Other Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators 6 Operational Mode Visual Indications Normal (standby) AC power: Green LED on continuously during light conditions, or blink every 60 sec during dark conditions. DC power: Green LED blink approx every 60 sec. Audible Indications Action/Note: Test (button press when no alarm condition is present) • 4 patterns of Red/Amber/Green. • Test: Red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern. Strobe flashes every second.
4. Troubleshooting Guide Trouble Condition Audible Indications Action: Low Battery Chirp every 60 sec, voice every 30 sec: “Replace alarm.” Voice stops after 5 mins. *Remove, discharge, dispose unit, and replace as soon as possible. Fault Mode Chirp every 30 sec. *See Cleaning Your Alarm section. * Push Test/Hush® button once to attempt to reset the unit . *Red LED will blink out an error code (number of blinks) when Test/Hush® button is push/released once.
5. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications Introduction This alarm detects products of combustion using photoelectric technology . Ten (10) years after the unit was installed, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace the unit. This is called “End of Unit Life” mode. See Troubleshooting Guide. To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to the side of the alarm.
The following diagrams show that the light intensity gradually decreases as the viewing angle is increased. Use this information to determine the best location for the strobe light.
6. Limitations of Smoke Alarms Warning: please read carefully and thoroughly Product Features and Specifications: •• Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants. •• Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.
7. Recommended Locations •• For rooms larger than 250 sq. ft. the notification device should be located within 4.88 m ANYWHERE (16’) of the pillow when ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE located in a sleeping area. •• Locate the first strobe/smoke alarm in the bedroom in which the hearing impaired individual sleeps. Try to monitor the exit path, as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the Locations permitted for smoke ANYWHERE ALONG bedrooms.
•• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION section. •• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from the side wall. •• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling.
8. Locations to Avoid •• Do not place in direct sunlight or install near high ambient light areas, the bright light may reduce one’s ability to notice the strobe light. •• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile. •• Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type. •• Do not install within 6 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.
•• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system is 1000 feet. •• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase supplied from a non-switchable circuit, which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter. •• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and detector guard) have been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

•• Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power. NOTE: Attaching AC power first, without rotating the alarm onto the mounting bracket, will result in a low battery trouble condition chirp (see Troubleshooting Guide). You need to activate the battery AC connector shipped with product Existing Kidde AC Connector (either connector can be used for this model) AC connector to eliminate the low battery trouble condition chirps.
10. Operation and Testing Operation The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete (see “TESTING” below). When products of combustion (smoke) are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm with Strobe flashing and voice messages. See Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions. Testing Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the test button (dome) quickly.
Ambient Light Sensing In low light ambient conditions, the green LED ring fades to off, and then blinks approx every 60 seconds. This unit samples the ambient light conditions of the alarm’s location and, if possible, determines a Night / Day cycle. A valid Night / Day cycle will delay unit chirps during the night until the next Day cycle begins. When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Unit Life chirps by pressing the Test/Hush® button.
This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling.
13. Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery WARNING: Failure to DISCHARGE alarm battery as instructed prior to disposal may create potential for lithium battery related fire or hazard. WARNING: Discharging the alarm battery is permanent •• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, it cannot be reactivated! •• Once discharged, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT SMOKE. •• Once the alarm battery is discharged, the battery is depleted and the alarm will no longer function.
14. Cleaning Your Alarm Your Alarm Should be Cleaned at Least Once a Year You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to dampen the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the alarm.
15. Good Safety Habits Develop and Practice a Plan of Escape Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at night. Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the residence. When two people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to call 911 while the second person stays to account for additional family members.
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Fire Safety in the Home: NFPA 72 is intended to provide reasonable safety for persons in family living units. Reasonable fire safety can be produced through the following three-point program: (1) Minimizing fire hazards (2) Providing fire-warning equipment (3) Having and practicing an escape plan.
