Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems

System Sensor warrants its enclosed smoke detector to be free from defects in 

materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three 

years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other express war-

ranty for this smoke detector. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of 

the Company has the authority to increase or alter the obligations or limitations 

of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited to 

the repair or replacement of any part of the smoke detector which is found to 

be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service during 

the three year period commencing with the date of manufacture. After phon-

ing  System  Sensor’s  toll  free  number  800-SENSOR2  (736-7672)  for  a  Return 

Authorization number, send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, 

Repair  Department,  RA  #__________,  6581  Kitimat  Road,  #6,  Mississauga, 

Ontario, L5N-3T5. Please include a note describing the malfunction and sus-

pected cause of failure. The Company shall not be obligated to repair or replace 

units which are found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use, 

modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case 

shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages for 

breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever, even if

Three-Year Limited Warranty

FCC Statement

This  device  complies  with  part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules.  Operation  is  subject  to  the  following  two  conditions:  (1)  This  device  may  not  cause  harmful  inter-

ference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note:   This  equipment  has  been  tested  and  found  to  comply  with  the  limits  for  a  Class  B  digital  device,  pursuant  to  Part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules.  These 

limits  are  designed  to  provide  reasonable    protection  against  harmful  interference  in  a  residential  installation.    This  equipment  generates,    uses 

and  can  radiate  radio  frequency  energy  and,  if  not  installed  and  used  in  accordance  with  the  instructions,  may  cause  harmful  interference  to 

radio  communications.  However,  there  is  no  guarantee  that  interference  will  not  occur  in  a  particular  installation.    If  this  equipment  does  cause 

harmful  interference  to  radio  or  television  reception,  which  can  be  determined  by  turning  the  equipment  off  and  on,  the  user  is  encouraged  to  

try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 

 

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

 

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 

 

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

 

 

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
