SERVICE AND WARRANTY
1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE SOUNDERS
• Child’s bedroom.
• Bedrooms of sound sleepers.
• An older adult’s bedroom.
• The bedroom of a person with high frequency hearing loss.
• In bedrooms without a smoke alarm and especially where someone sleeps with the
door closed. The closed door may prevent a sleeping individual from hearing an alarm
that is not inside the bedroom
• Caregiver’s bedroom as a supplement to a traditional smoke alarm.
2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
• In an area that is obstructed by material or objects that may absorb sound and diminish
the Smoke Sounder’s effectiveness, such as an outlet behind drapes or furniture.
• Into an outlet that is connected to a switch.
• In direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the plastic.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 32ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as
garages and unfinished attics.
• In very humid areas.
• Near fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment or other devices known to
transmit in the RF band. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
• Near large metal surfaces and bundles of wire.
