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, smolder-
ing 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.

Smoke Alarm Features

• These smoke alarms are powered by 120V AC (Model G)
or 120V AC with a 9-volt battery back-up source (Model
AD). AC/DC smoke alarms offer added protection in the
event of a power failure.
• Unique power connector prevents interconnection with
incompatible smoke alarms or security systems.
• This smoke alarm can be interconnected with as many as
17 other specific model smoke alarms.
• Optional tamper-resist feature can serve as a safeguard
against tampering.
• Unique "battery missing" signal. The smoke alarm will
not attach to the mounting bracket if a battery is not in
the battery pocket on Model AD.
• Improperly connected or weak battery signal. The smoke
alarm will sound a short beep about once a minute if the
battery is weak or improperly connected on Model AD.
• Multi-purpose green and red LEDs indicate that the smoke
alarm is receiving AC power, working under normal opera-
tion, and/or in alarm (Model AD only).
• Loud alarm horn-85 decibels at 10 feet-sounds to alert
you to an emergency.
• Test button checks smoke alarm operation.
• Constant green LED indicates the alarm is connected to
and receiving AC Power.

Important Safety Information

• This smoke alarm requires constant 120-volt, AC power
AND (Model AD only) a working 9-volt battery to operate
properly. This smoke alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is
not connected or has failed or been interrupted for any
reason AND (Model AD only) the battery is removed,
drained, or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other
kind of battery except as specified in this manual (Model
AD only). DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other
type of smoke alarm or auxiliary device, except those list-
ed in this manual.
• DO NOT remove or disconnect battery or turn off AC
power to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your
protection. Open windows or fan the air around smoke
alarm to silence it.
• The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all smoke alarm
functions. DO NOT use any other test method. Test
smoke alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.
• This smoke alarm should be installed only by a licensed,
qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and
national electrical and building codes for installation.
• 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, dormito-
ries, hospitals, nursing homes, or group homes.
• Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of
the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for
many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote
