Smoke Alarm Features
• Models CB, CC and CEC are ionisation-type smoke alarms.
• Unique “battery missing” feature. The smoke alarm will not attach to the mounting
bracket if a battery is not in the battery pocket.
• Low battery signal. The smoke alarm will sound a short beep about once a minute if the
battery needs to be replaced.
• Optional tamper-resist feature can serve as a safeguard against tampering.
• Visual LED flashes about once a minute. This indicates the smoke alarm is receiving power.
• Loud alarm horn—85 decibels at 10 feet—sounds to alert you to an emergency.

™
(Quick-Quiet). When activated, this quiets unwanted alarms for a maximum of 15 min-
utes.

smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, illuminating emergency exits.
