North America’s #1 home fire safety brand (based on total household
installations as of December 2022) is bringing you the next level of fire safety
with the Kidde Smoke Alarm model 10SDR. This alarm oers a compact
4” design for small spaces without sacrificing the key features you need.
Cutting edge technology sends fast alerts that give your family more time to

Comprehensively tested and designed to the latest UL standard for safety
and reliability, the alarm is powered by replaceable AA batteries (included)
for continual detection even during outages. Plus, it’s self-testing and easy to
install with the included twist-and-click mounting bracket. And it’s equipped
with end-of-life notifications that will beep to remind you it’s time to replace it
10 years after it is powered.
Alarm Warnings
Fire: The red LED will flash in sync with the alarm pattern (3 long beeps).
The alarm will repeat this pattern until the unit is reset or smoke is eliminated.
Low Battery: One chirp and red LED flash per minute.
Alarm Memory: Alerts a user if smoke has been detected in the last 24
hours. If smoke has been detected, the red LED blinks every 15 seconds.

Installation of Alarm
This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which
includes enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms from cooking. Industry
experts recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be
installed to help ensure optimal detection of the various types of fires that
can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with
slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
*Self-testing is not a substitute for a manual push test of the alarm. Perform a button test once
per week to verify proper alarm operation.
