User's Manual
1.RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SOUND MODULES
Recommended Applications:
• Child’s bedroom.
• Bedrooms of sound sleepers.
• An elderly person’s bedroom.
• The bedroom of a person with high frequency hearing loss.
• In bedrooms without a smoke alarm and especially where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may prevent
the smoke alarm outside the room from waking the sleeper.
Recommended Locations:
• Remove the power plug and place on a nightstand or shelf near where the person sleeps.
• Plug directly into an outlet that is unobstructed by cloth or other sound dampening material near the head of bed.
• Mount on the wall near the sleeping individual.
2.LOCATIONS TO AVOID
• In an area that is obstructed by material or objects that may absorb sound and diminish the Sound Module’s effectiveness, such
as an outlet behind drapes or furniture.
• Into an outlet that is connected to a switch.
• In direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the plastic.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 32ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.
• In very humid areas.
• Near fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment or other devices known to transmit in the RF band. Electronic
“noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
• Near large metal surfaces and bundles of wire.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP
1. Remove all your new Kidde Wireless Interconnect devices from their respective packages and
place them in front of you.
DO NOT PLUG THEM IN OR INSTALL THE BATTERIES.
2. Find the 8-position dipswitch located on the back of each device. For this model the dipswitch
is located under the back cover.
3. Select one of the units. You will define the ID of your system by positioning the switches of
the dipswitch in a random pattern. The ID will need to be the same for each alarm or accessory.
This ID will differentiate your alarm system from similar systems nearby. DO NOT USE THE
DEFAULT ID YOUR UNITS ARE SHIPPED WITH!
4. Using a pen or pencil, change the switches in each of the Kidde Wireless devices to match the
pattern you selected in step 3. Be careful to not get the sequence backwards.
5. Power each unit up after setting the ID by installing the batteries. The devices read the ID only
read when they are first powered up. Any changes to the switches after the unit is powered will
not be recognized and will require the units to be disconnected from power for a minimum of
30 seconds before powering the units up again.
6. Push and hold the test button on each unit for at least 5 seconds or until all the devices produce
a smoke alarm signal. If all the units do not produce an alarm signal refer to the trouble-
shooting section at the end of this manual.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arms length away
from the unit when testing.
7. Install the alarms in accordance with the owner's manual and repeat step 6. Since WIRELESS communication can be
interrupted by a number of factors, you must test your alarms weekly to ensure proper communication between alarms.
8. Read the owner’s manual and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
If your Wireless smoke alarms and accessories enter alarm mode, first check to see if there is a fire. If a fire does
not exist, and the test buttons have not been activated on any of the units, it is likely that you are receiving
interference from a similar system nearby. In this case, repeat the above steps and select a different dipswitch
pattern, making sure to disconnect power and remove the batteries before changing the switch positions.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
CAUTION! THIS UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT A FRESH BATTERY INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
THIS DEVICE WILL QUICKLY DEPLETE BATTERIES WHILE ON BATTERY BACK-UP. CONNECT THE UNIT TO AC
POWER IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERIES.
