WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions.
No fi re alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not
a substitute for life insurance.
Smoke alarms require a source of power to work. This smoke alarm will
not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed
properly.
Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has
taken drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a
bedroom. Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This
alarm is not designed for the hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early
enough. Smoke alarms only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm.
If a fi re starts in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on
a different level of the property, enough smoke may not reach the alarm for it
to alarm.
Smoke alarms are a signifi cant help in reducing loss, injury and even death.
However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly
under every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect a
smoke alarm to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping
individuals. It is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are
capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.
FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fi re
in its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the
premises safely.
AVOID FIRE HAZARDS
No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards
should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows:
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Do not leave children home alone.
• Never clean with fl ammable liquids such as gasoline.
• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques
to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other
storage area is an open invitation to fi re.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only
for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets.
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fi res can start. Be
prepared.
IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fi re:
• Leave immediately. Don't stop to pack or search for valuables.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The
clearest air is usually near the fl oor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door
knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot
against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one
hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam
the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fi re tends to build up considerable
pressure. Be sure all members of the household realize and understand
this danger.
• Use your neighbor's phone or a street fi re alarm box to call the fi re
department. The job of extinguishing the fi re should be left to the
professionals.

BE PREPARED
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fi re:
• Perform fi re drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm
signal.
• Draw a fl oor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important
that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times
of crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone
meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone
reentering the house for a missing member who is actually safe.
• If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your
household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the
sleeping quarters of these individuals.
WARNING
Smoke alarms CANNOT provide warnings for fi res resulting from
explosions, smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of fl ammable
liquids, vapors and gases, children playing with matches or lighters.

IMPORTANT!!!
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important
need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which
must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC
Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited
transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• For Canadian installations only: The radios are required to comply with
Industry Canada (IC) Rules and Regulations. As such, they have limited
transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time
and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating
frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC or IC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against
undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior
to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be
communicated to the ultimate users.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
This device complies with IC Rules and Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
