- Page 1 MODEL MDS300CN ® IoPhic SMOKE & FIRE ALARM WITH SILENCE FEATURE AND ALARM ORIGINATION FEATURE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS This smoke alarm uses an extremely small amount of a radioactive element in the ionization chamber. Do not tamper with radioactive sealed source or try to repair the smoke alarm yourself.
- Page 2 SMOKE ALARM LIMITATIONS AND FUNCTIONS ® There are three basic smoke alarm types: IoPhic , Ionization and Photoelectric. ® IoPhic is an ionization alarm containing a patent-pending Universal Smoke Sensing Technology. ® IoPhic alarms are very effective at detecting fast flaming fires and also respond very quickly to slow smoldering fires - up to 87% faster than the maximum allowable alarm limit (UL217 Smoldering Smoke Test on 5/26/2010, Underwriters Laboratories Project #09CA38078).
- Page 3 RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS • Locate the first smoke alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the escape route as the bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional smoke alarms in each sleeping area. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a smoke alarm at each end.
- Page 4 AVOID THESE LOCATIONS • the garage – products of combustion are produced when you start your vehicle. • near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, gas hot water heaters). Use smoke alarms with photoelectric sensors or smoke alarms with Silence Feature for these areas.
- Page 5 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Attach the mounting bracket in the proper location on the wall or ceiling (screws and anchors provided). To activate 9 volt battery and alarm, hold the battery, pull and remove the PULL-TAB. Confirm that the entire PULL-TAB has been completely removed. Discard PULL-TAB. Push and twist the alarm clockwise onto the mounting bracket.
- Page 6 NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this smoke alarm. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the smoke alarm or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the smoke alarm's operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
- Page 7 DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE BASICS OF ESCAPE PLAN o Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder. o Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
