debris. Clean the alarm at least once a year to remove dust,
dirt, or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush,
vacuum all sides and covers of smoke alarm. Be sure all the
vents are free of debris. Use a damp cloth to clean the alarm’s
cover.
This smoke alarm uses a 9 volt battery. a fresh battery should
last for one year under normal operate conditions.

alarm to “chirp” and at the same time as the red LED flash
approx every 32 seconds for a minimum of 7 days when the
battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition
occurs. Please refer to “
REPLACE BATTERY”.

inside. This will void the warranty.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR
ALARMS
•
Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms.
Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually
farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists,
locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
•
Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
•
Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
•
Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
•
Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances
are operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).
•
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with
the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not
located in that room from waking the sleeper.
•
Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling
•
and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the
ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all
points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in
ordinary residential construction.
•
For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to
avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For
more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION below.
•
When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a
minimum of 4" (10cm) from the side wall (Refer to
Diagram 3).
•
When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall
