NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set
fire to the unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit's operation as
required by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one
that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Safety Standards and use it only as
directed. Use of non-UL Listed products or improper use of UL Listed products may affect
the smoke alarm's sensitivity.
FALSE ALARMS "SILENCE" CONTROL:
Units with the "silence" feature have the capability of
temporarily reducing the sensitivity of the alarm circuit for approximately 3-5 minutes. This feature is
to be used only when a known alarm condition such as smoke from cooking activates the smoke
alarm. The smoke alarm is deactivated by pushing the test button on the smoke alarm cover for at
least three seconds. The smoke alarm will automatically reduce sensitivity and "beep" every 30-40
seconds for approximately 3-5 minutes to indicate the alarm is in the temporary silent condition. The
smoke alarm will gradually reactivate and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present.
The "silence" feature may be used repeatedly until the air has cleared.
BACKUP BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The smoke alarm uses a Long Life 9 Volt ULTRALIFE U9VL-J Lithium Powercell*. The battery is
warranted for 10 years under normal operating conditions. The smoke alarm has a low battery
indicator, an audible "beep." It will operate at 30-40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When
this indication occurs, replace the battery. Only the following Lithium battery (available at most drug,
hardware or electronic parts stores) should be used for replacement. Lithium type: (ULTRALIFE
U9VL-J).
REPAIRS AND SERVICES
The smoke alarm contains less than 1 microcurie (37 kilobecquerel) of Americium 241, a radioactive
material.
The distribution of these ionization-type smoke alarms is licensed by the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission; the consumer is exempt from any licensing or requirements.
If the
smoke alarm is defective in any way, do not tamper with the unit. Return the unit for servicing. (See
warranty for instructions or in-warranty returns.) There will be a service charge for repairing out of
warranty units.
Before using the alarm "silence" feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that
safe conditions exist.
MAINTENANCE:
The smoke alarm is virtually maintenance free. However, under dusty conditions,
a vacuum hose may be used to clear the sensing chamber of dust.
RV INSTALLATION -
WARNING:
TEST SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE,
BEFORE EACH TRIP, AND AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK DURING USE. An identical marking is to
be provided by the recreational vehicle manufacturer that shall be permanent and located, visibly,
within 24 inches (610mm) of the smoke alarm.

OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION:
The smoke alarm is operating once the power is connected and turned on (the battery
must also be installed). When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm
which continues until the air is cleared.
This alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm
mode, the horn produces three short beeps followed by a two second pause and then repeats.
STANDBY CONDITION:
The red LED flashes once every 40-60 seconds to indicate the unit is
properly functioning.
LOCAL ALARM CONDITION:
The red LED flashes rapidly and the unit emits a loud, pulsating
alarm sound.
TESTING:
Test by pushing the test button on the smoke alarm cover until the alarm sounds, then
release. The alarm sounds if all electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. The alarm may
continue to sound for up to 10 seconds after the button is released. If no alarm sounds, the unit may
have a defective battery or other failure. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper operation.
