TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Walter Kidde Portable Equipment, Inc. ("KIDDE") warrants to the original
purchaser that the enclosed smoke alarm will be free from defects in mate-
rial and workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period
of ten years from the date of purchase. The obligation of KIDDE under this
warranty is limited to repairing or replacing the smoke alarm or any part
which we find to be defective in material, workmanship or design, free of
charge to the customer, upon sending the smoke alarm with proof of date
of purchase, postage and return postage prepaid, to Warranty Service
Department, KIDDE, 1016 Corporate Park Dr., Mebane, NC 27302.

This warranty shall not apply to the smoke alarm if it has been damaged,
modified, abused or altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to 
operate due to improper maintenance or inadequate AC or DC electrical
power.

THE LIABILITY OF KIDDE OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY CORPO-
RATIONS ARISING FROM THE SALE OF THIS SMOKE ALARM OR UNDER
THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE
EXCEED THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF SMOKE ALARM AND, IN NO
CASE, SHALL KIDDE SAFETY OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY 
CORPORATIONS BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES
RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE SMOKE ALARM OR FOR BREACH
OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EVEN IF THE
LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE OR
FAULT.

Since some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied
warranty or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you.  While this warranty gives you specific legal rights, you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.

The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both
parties hereto.
