Where Not to Install Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm: • In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. • Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible.
Set-Up & Installation Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes. NOTE: Be sure to mount the product in the orientation specified in the next steps as this provides the most stability for mounting the product to the wall or ceiling. When wall mounting, the speaker opening is in the upper left corner.
Wireless Interconnect Benefits of Wireless Interconnect The wireless interconnect feature on this alarm allows you to connect each of your First Alert Onelink alarms so when one alarm sounds, they all will sound. ! WARNING: Install alarms and test to assure range and reliability of interconnection throughout the house. • First Alert Onelink alarms can typically communicate with each other if they’re 50ft (15m) apart inside a home.

Using the Silence Feature (Continued) When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced The Smoke Alarm will remain silent for up to 15 minutes, then return to normal operation. The CO Alarm will remain silent for up to 4 minutes. If the smoke has not cleared or continues to increase, the device will go back into alarm. After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous, the horn will start sounding again.
Regular Maintenance This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly: • Test it at least once a week. • Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Regular Maintenance (Continued) To Replace Batteries (Continued) Step 3 Connect new battery to connector ensuring that release lever engages and insert battery into the battery compartment. Step 4 Close the battery compartment, and re-mount the Alarm if you removed it from the mounting bracket. Then test the unit by pressing the Test button 4 3 If the alarm does not test, check the battery to ensure it is properly connected and the alarm is properlymounted in the bracket.
Ionization & Photoelectric Technology (Continued) Photoelectric Technology Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. NOTE: For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.
Fire Safety Tips (Continued) WARNING: This unit will not operate without battery power. The Smoke/CO Alarm cannot work until you activate the battery ! power pack. NEVER ignore any alarm. See “What To Do If Your Smoke/Co Alarm Sounds” on page 11 for more information on how to respond to an alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury or death. The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. See “Using the Silence Feature” on page 12 for details.
What You Need to Know About CO (Continued) Finding the Source of CO After an Alarm Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO: • House well ventilated before the investigator arrives. • Problem caused by “backdrafting.” • Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.
Potential Sources of CO in the Home (Continued) How Can I Protect My Family From CO Poisoning? A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances. To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning: • Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow.
Regulatory Information for CO Alarms (Continued) ! IMPORTANT: CO alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat. Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present. An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy adults but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches. An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours. Standards Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
