Important Warning Statements

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before installation and keep
this User Guide near the alarm for future reference.
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. Home fires develop in different ways and
are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde
recommends that both ionization and photoelectric alarms be
installed.
WARNING: Removal of the alarm batteries will render
the alarm inoperative. This alarm requires a continuous
supply of electrical power – it will not work without power.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide
may be present in other areas.
