• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the battery and the alarm circuits are in
good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke
alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, within walls, on roofs, on the other side of a
closed door or other obstruction.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a
sound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's ability to hear the smoke alarm. For
maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level
of a home.
This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.
