Wireless, Battery-Powered, Single and/or Multiple Station (24 devices maximum,
see section 3) Ionization Smoke Alarm with
Smart HUSH
®
Control to temporarily
silence nuisance alarms.
This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It
contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see section 9).
Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compli-
ance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt
from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm your-
self. Refer to the instructions in Section 13 for service.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated
with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric
sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow
smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection,
Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be
installed.
