1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds The 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 the alarm pattern. The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present. •• 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.
2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds The 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 the alarm pattern. On DC power only, after 4 mins, the alarm pattern and voice will only occur every 60 sec. warning: Carbon monoxide alarm activation indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) at high concentrations which can kill you. 1) Operate the Test/Hush button.
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.

5. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications Introduction This alarm detects products of combustion using photoelectric technology and carbon monoxide using an electrochemical cell. Many times throughout this User Guide, we will refer to Carbon Monoxide as “CO.” Ten (10) years after the unit was activated, 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.
6. Limitations of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms Warning: please read carefully and thoroughly •• 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.
Warning: Please read carefully and thoroughly •• IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas. CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been fixed.
7. Recommended Locations For Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Alarms •• Locate smoke alarms in all sleeping areas. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area. •• Locate additional alarms in stairways, because stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat. •• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level. •• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
Note: measurements shown are to the closest edge of the alarm. NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and locat- ot within 6 feet appliances ed within 3 ftof(0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally.
•• 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 the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling. •• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.
8. Locations to Avoid (See Figures 7-A, 7-B, & 7-C for recommended locations) •• 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.

16. General Carbon Monoxide (CO) Information Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Possible Sources of CO Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO. CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel: gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, oil and wood.
CO Safety Tips Every year, have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected and cleaned by a qualified technician. Always install appliances according to manufacturer’s instructions and adhere to local building codes. Most appliances should be installed by professionals and inspected after installation. Regularly examine vents and chimneys for improper connections, visible rust, or stains, and check for cracks in furnace heat exchangers.
17. 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.
18. 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.
