Description: 

This  unit  is  a  photoelectric  3V  DC  smoke  alarm.  It  is 
operated by 3v AA  Alkaline battery. With the photoelectric 
technology, it is more sensitive in detecting slow smoldering   
fires which generate light smoke, little heat and may smolder 
for hours before bursting into flames. This smoke alarm does   
not contain any radioactive material. Smoke alarms should be 
installed  in  every room  (except  the  bathroom  and  kitchen), 
finished attics and basements, making sure the people in the 
home  will be  able  to  hear and respond to  the alarm  sound. 
For  minimum  protection,  you  should  install  an  alarm  on 
every level of the home particularly outside sleeping rooms. 
Each alarm should be placed in the middle of the ceiling of 
each  room  to  be  protected.  Typical  single  storey  dwelling 
installation  recommendations:  Install  a  smoke  alarm  on  the 
ceiling inside each bedroom and in the hallway outside each 
separate  sleeping  area.  If  a  bedroom  area  hallway  is  more 
than 30 feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end. If there 
is a basement: install a smoke alarm on the basement ceiling 
at the bottom of the stairwell. Typical multi-storey dwelling 
installation  recommendations:  Install  a  minimum  of  one 
smoke alarm on each occupiable level of the home. Install a 
smoke alarm on the ceiling or wall inside each bedroom and 
in  the  hallway  outside  each  separate  sleeping  area.  If  a 
bedroom  area  hallway  is  more  than  30  feet  long,  install  a 
smoke alarm at each end install a smoke alarm at the top of a 
first – to- second floor stairwell.
