MOKE ALARMS MUST NOT BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS
UNLESS THE COMBINATION OF ALARM AND GUARD HAS BEEN
EVALUATED AND FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE
The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting
fast, flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and
spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids
or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric type alarms
are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which
smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires
may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. However, both
types of alarms are designed to provide adequate detection of both
types of fires. If you desire the benefits of both systems, you should
install smoke alarms that combine in one alarm both photoelectric and
ionization sensing technologies.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR SMOKE ALARM
• Before installing your smoke alarm, you must read this entire
Owner's Manual.
• Install a smoke alarm in each room and area of your home. See

"WHERE YOU SHOULD INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS."

• This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single-family
household. In multi-family buildings, each individual living unit should
have its own alarms. It is not a substitute for a complete commercial
alarm system. It should be used only as supplemental protection in
hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, or group
homes.
• Smoke alarms cannot give you an early warning of fire or smoke
unless you install, use and maintain them by following these
instructions.
• You must hear the alarm's warning sound and quickly respond to it to
reduce the risk of damage, injury or death that may result from a fire.
• Your smoke alarm is packaged with the battery disconnected.
Connect it to the battery leads before mounting the smoke alarm.
• A smoke alarm will not work without a good battery installed correctly.
The smoke alarm must be tested when a new battery is installed and
every week after that.
• A smoke alarm that beeps about once per minute means the battery
is weak, and you need a new battery.
• A smoke alarm should never be used, in any case, for more than 10
years.
• Smoke alarms must not be used with detector guards unless the
combination of alarm and guard has been evaluated and found
suitable for that purpose.
• Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time.
There may be limiting circumstances where a household member
may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor or indoor noise, sound
sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you
suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member,
install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Current studies have
shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and
that 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.
