FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking
materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters
away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 
4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload elec-
trical circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys
grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove
unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles,
away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.
Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if
they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert
you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and
an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable
means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

IMPORTANT! 

Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and

“Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit
monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it
alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This
unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed,
maintained and located where smoke can reach it, and where all resi-
dents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense
gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms

Battery powered or electrical? Different Smoke Alarms provide 
different types of protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms

Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one Smoke Alarm on
every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in every bedroom 
hallway or separate sleeping area. See “Recommended Locations For
Smoke Alarms” and “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for
details.

Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do

A Smoke Alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to
escape. It can only sound an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor.
See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

Check Your Local Building Codes

This Smoke Alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family
home. It alone will not meet requirements for boarding houses, apart-
ment buildings, hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance
Considerations” for details.

All First Alert

®

and BRK

®

Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory

requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles
of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are 
produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric
technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced
in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible

materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include
paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization
technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced
in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for

hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include 
cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each
level and in every bedroom of your home.

This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recom-
mended that you install special units which use devices like
flashing strobe lights to alert the hearing impaired residents.

Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. 
It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices.
Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from work-
ing properly.

This Smoke Alarm cannot detect smoke until you activate it. 
You must activate the unit for it to receive power from the 
power cells. Failure to activate the unit will prevent the alarm
from providing any warning of smoke or fire.

The power cells in this unit cannot be replaced—once they 
reach the end of their service life, you must install a new Smoke
Alarm. You must deactivate the unit before disposing of it.

Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents
around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the
sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC
powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. 
It is loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure to the horn at
close range may harm your hearing. 

Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the
sensing chamber and prevent the unit from operating properly.
