weekly to ensure proper operation. It is designed as a stand alone unit.
3
. DO NOT remove or disconnect battery to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your protection. Open
windows or fan the air around smoke alarm to silence it
4
. Observe and follow all local and national electrical and building codes for installation.
5
. This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single room only. In multi-room buildings, each individual
living unit should have its own smoke alarms. Do not install in non-residential buildings. And this smoke alarm
is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
6
. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the
home, on another level, in a chimney, wall, roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke may not reach the
smoke alarm in time to alert household members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire except in the
area or room in which it is installed.
7
. Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time. The alarm sound is loud in order to alert
individuals to a potential danger. However, there may be limiting circumstances where a household member
may not hear the alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing,
etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member, install and maintain specialty
smoke alarms. Household member must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the
risk of damage, injury, or death that may result from fire. If a household member is hearing impaired, install
special smoke alarms with lights or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
8
. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion particles
in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm is designed to give audible warning of a
developing fire. However, many fires are fast-burning, explosive, or intentional. Others are caused by
carelessness or safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe
escape.
9
. Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or
property from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters are responsible for
their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you
must test the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.
Note:
For best protection, we recommend that you install a smoke alarm in every room.
