This 3-in-1 combination smoke + fire + carbon monoxide (CO) alarm requires constant 120
VAC power to operate properly. The 10 year sealed battery provides continuous protection in
the event of a temporary power outage.
• There are three basic smoke alarm types: Universal Smoke Sensing Technology
and Photoelectric.
• Universal Smoke Sensing Technology
Alarm Technology. Alarms containing Universal Smoke Sensing Technology are effective at
detecting fast flaming fires faster than the maximum allowable alarm limit, and are effective
at detecting slow smoldering fires.
• Ionization smoke alarms are typically more effective at detecting fast flaming fires—fires
which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may
include paper burning in a wastebasket, or kitchen grease fires.
• Photoelectric smoke alarms, on the other hand, are typically more effective at detecting slow
smoldering fires—fires which burn for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these
fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
• Installing alarms containing Universal Smoke Sensing Technology ensures maximum detec-
tion of both types of fires from a single alarm, while eliminating the need for a combination of
ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms.
The enclosed alarm is a 3-in-1 Universal Smoke Sensing Technology
Smart Alarm Technology virtually eliminates nuisance alarms caused by non-hazardous
sources such as every day cooking smoke and steam
Permanent Power battery backup provides continuous protection—even in the event of an AC
power outage. Eliminates low battery chirps. Never replace batteries.

• IMPORTANT: ALARMS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Therefore, installing an
alarm with a sealed battery or an alarm powered from two different power sources can give
an extra measure of protection. A hardwired alarm with backup battery power will provide
protection in the event of an AC power failure. Battery operated alarms cannot work if the
batteries are missing, disconnected or dead. If you are concerned about the limitations of the
battery or AC power, install both types of alarms.
• PROPERLY LOCATE THE ALARM TO AVOID NUISANCE ALARMS. Using an ionization
smoke alarm without Universal Smoke Sensing Technology in a smokey area, such as a
kitchen, or in a high humidity area near a shower, can cause nuisance/false alarms. Also,
humid areas near a shower can cause nuisance false alarms.
• DO NOT TURN OFF THE AC POWER OR DEACTIVATE THE BATTERY TO QUIET A
NUISANCE/FALSE ALARM. The alarm will not provide protection if it is not receiving power.
Properly locate the alarm to avoid nuisance/false alarms.
• SMOKE, CO OR GAS ALARMS MAY NOT ALWAYS WARN ABOUT DANGERS CAUSED
BY CARELESSNESS. Safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escap-
ing gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children
playing with matches, natural causes such as lightning and arson. Prevention and appliance
maintenance is the best safeguard.
• INSTALLING ALARMS MAY MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR LOWER INSURANCE RATES,
BUT ALARMS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INSURANCE. Home-owners and renters
alike should continue to insure their lives and properties.
• SMOKE ALARMS CANNOT DETECT FIRES IF THE SMOKE DOES NOT REACH THEM.
Smoke from fires may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the alarm. Do not obstruct
airflow around the smoke alarm or place in areas of obstructed airflow.
• SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE IN VARIOUS AREAS. For example: (1) Fires
where the victim is intimate with fire due to a person's clothes catching fire while cooking;
