Operating Instructions; Iv. Operating Instructions - LIFETONE HLAC150 User Manual

III. WARNINGS (continued)
WARNING! Do not obstruct the raised Microphone Grille and Dust Protector. Covering
or blocking this component may obstruct proper operation, which may result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Always use the batteries specified by this User's Manual. Do not use
rechargeable batteries. Use of different batteries may damage the product or cause it
to fail to detect a signal from an activated smoke alarm, which may result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Do not use the Lifetone HL™ Fire Alarm where the humidity exceeds 95% or
where the surrounding temperature is lower than 32°F (0°C) or higher than 120°F (49°C).
Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or excessive humidity may obstruct the
product's intended signaling performance, which may result in personal injury or death.
WARNING! This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING! Do not ignore any emergency alarm. Failure to investigate for smoke or
fire after having received an emergency signal may result in personal injury or death.
WARNING! Because there are environmental acoustic variables involved, such as
background noise levels and distance to your smoke alarms, and variations in some
smoke alarm T3 signal periods and timing, the setup test result cannot guarantee
that your smoke alarms will always be detected within 30 seconds in the event of an
emergency. See the instructions and section VI G, TESTING YOUR LIFETONE HL™,
for details.

IV. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
LIFETONE HL™ BEDSIDE FIRE ALARM AND CLOCK
See Warnings in Section III of the User's Manual.
1. Make sure your existing smoke alarms are UL listed and compliant T3 smoke alarms.
You must have properly installed UL listed and compliant T3 smoke alarms in your home
before the Lifetone HL™ Bedside Fire Alarm and Clock will operate correctly. Read and
follow the instructions and warnings that accompany your existing smoke alarms.
If you are unsure whether your existing smoke alarms are UL listed and compliant, ask
the manufacturer of those products or your local fire official about your smoke alarms.
Investigate further until you are satisfied that your existing smoke alarms are UL listed
and compliant T3 smoke alarms.
Do not use the Lifetone HL™ Fire Alarm with First Alert talking alarms made prior to 24
October 2011. Some may pass the setup test, but in an emergency will have a variable-
length T3 signal that is not UL 217-compliant (UL 217 6th Ed, 34.3.2b) and cannot be
recognized by the Lifetone HL™ Fire Alarm. First Alert talking alarms made after that
date may have a UL 217 compliant T3 signal and if they do, those alarms will be
compatible with the Lifetone HL™ Fire Alarm. See section G
LIFETONE HL™, for details or call the manufacturer.
