requirements, including ULC STD S531 and are designed to
detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying
number and size are produced in all fires.
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photo-
electric technology at detecting small particles, which tend
to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which
consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly.
Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a
wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.
Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than
ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend
to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which
may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources
of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or
bedding.
For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on
each level and in every bedroom of your home.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area
where the Smoke Alarm is installed before removing it from the
mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in
serious electrical shock, injury or death.
• This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is
recommended that you install special units which use
devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired
residents.
• Installation of this unit must conform to the Canadian
Electrical Code and any other local or building codes that
may apply. Wiring and installation must be performed
by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in injury or property damage.
• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC pure
sine wave 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be
turned off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit
interrupter. Failure to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit
may prevent it from providing constant protection.
• This Alarm must have AC or battery power to operate.
If the AC power fails, battery back-up will allow the
alarm to sound for at least 4 minutes. If AC power
fails and the battery is weak, protection should last
for at least 7 days. If AC power fails and the battery
is dead or missing, the alarm cannot operate.
• Never disconnect the power from an AC powered unit to
stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and
remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted
alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the
unit. The alarm will reset automatically when it returns to
normal operation. Never remove the batteries from a battery
operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking
smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke
away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.
• Connect this unit ONLY to other compatible units. See "How
To Install This Smoke Alarm" for details. Do not connect it to
any other type of alarm or auxiliary device. Connecting
anything else to this unit may damage it or prevent it from
operating properly.
• This Smoke/CO Alarm has a battery drawer which resists
closing unless a battery is installed. This warns you the
unit will not operate under DC power without a battery.
• Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is
sounding. It is loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure
to the horn at close range may harm your hearing.
• Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog
the openings to the sensing chambers and
prevent the unit from operating properly.
• "This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect
carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is
NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gases".
