The device will attempt to join a network for 90 seconds. If all attempts fail, it will stop the

Mapping location
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard 72 (National Fire Protection
Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169). For complete coverage, smoke detectors should
be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics for each family.
For your information,
the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, reads as follows:
•
Install in all guest rooms.
•
Install outside of each separate dwelling unit’s sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a
sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel.
•
Install on every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.
•
Install on every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
•
Install in the living area of a guest suite.
•
Install in the living area of residential board and care occupancy.
•
Install in an ambient temperature between 40° to 100°F (4.4° to 37.8°C).
Do not place the device in the following areas:
•
Combustion particles are the byproducts of something that is burning. Do not install the smoke
detectors to avoid nuisance alarms in or near areas where combustion particles are present, such
as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle exhaust,
near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space heaters.
•
Do not install smoke detectors less than 20 ft (6 m) away from places where combustion particles
are normally present, like kitchens. If a 20-foot distance is not possible in your home, try to install
the device as far away from the combustion particles as possible, preferably on the ceiling. To
prevent nuisance alarms, provide good ventilation in places within 5 ft (1.5 m) of open flame
appliances such as furnaces, stoves, and fireplaces
Mounting your Blue by ADT Smoke Detector
Getting started is simple. The Blue by ADT Smart Home Hub and Smoke Detector are preconfigured to
work together when setting up any smoke detector included with a system order. If you are setting up a
smoke detector from an accessory order which doesn’t contain a Blue Smart Home Hub, see the pairing
section for information about adding your smoke detectors to the smart home hub using your Blue by
ADT app.
To continue with setting up a preconfigured smoke detector, launch your Blue by ADT app and follow the
in-app setup help. Just follow these steps:
•
Choose a flat and solid ceiling to set up the smoke detector.
•
Draw a 2 in. (5 mm) horizontal line at the place where you are going to set up the device. Draw
one mark at each end of the line to locate the screw placement.
Alternative option:
Hold the
bracket up to the ceiling and mark inside each of the two oval cutouts to locate the screw
placement.
•
Drill two holes at the marks and insert wall plugs if needed.
•
Attach the bracket to the ceiling using the two supplied screws.
•
Attach the device onto the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into place. Make sure it
is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
