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. •• 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.
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.
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.
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 Smoke Alarms ANYWHERE ALONG THIS BOLD SURFACE •• Locate smoke alarms in all sleeping areas. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the Locations permitted for smoke ALONG exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.ANYWHEREalarms and smoke detectors THIS BOLD SURFACE on tray-shaped ceilings. •• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
•• 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 •• 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. •• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling. •• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.
•• 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. WARNING: The alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave, inverter.

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 to eliminate the low battery trouble condition chirps. Attach unit to AC connector shipped with product Existing Kidde AC Connector (either connector can be used for this model) AC connector mounting bracket very soon after applying AC power to avoid false low battery notification.
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 voice messages. See Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions. Testing Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the test button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed followed by voice prompts that will inform you of the upcoming test sequence.
When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Unit Life chirps by pressing the Test/Hush® button. Low Battery chirps cannot be silenced. If a valid Night / Day cycle has not Possible chirping reasons End of Unit Life: will be delayed at night Low battery: will be delayed at night been established because the unit is located in either a constantly dark or lighted location, the chirps mentioned above will not be delayed at night.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance WARNING: This unit does not detect CO, but it will transmit a CO alarm signal from an interconnected CO or Smoke/CO combination alarm. It is impossible to determine the source of a CO alarm using sight or smell. Always consider a CO alarm event as dangerous. •• Pushing the button on the initiating CO or Smoke/CO combination alarm will silence that alarm and all compatible interconnected units.
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.
