1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

Smoke alarm pat tern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating.

The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern.

The smoke alarm takes pre cedence when both smo ke and carbon monoxid e are present.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have dif ficulty recognizing the impor tance of the

alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.

• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up

valuables.

• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through

cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder

against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the f loor where the air is cleaner. Crawl if neces-

sary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selec ted meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbor’s home-not from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard

72. For instance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps with voice “Warning! Carbon Monoxide” repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATION INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF

CARBON MONOXIDE CO AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU. 1 Operate the Test/Hush button. NOTE: Pressing the button on the initiating alarm unit (green LED

flashing every second) will silence the alarm notification, including all interconnected units. If the unit goes into alarm mode again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.

2 Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911). EMERGENCY PHONE #:___________ 3 Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door / window. Do a head count to check

that all persons are accounted for. Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

4 After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a

qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation of equipment.

If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached or adjacent to the residence. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

6. Limitations of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• Life safet y from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to

escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants.

• Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal

fires. Vic tims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they

cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies

such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

• Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure

maximum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may

detect invisible fire par ticles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelec tric alarms. Photoelec tric

sensing alarms may detect visible fire par ticles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed properly (This

model has a sealed batter y).

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batter y and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense

fires star ting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different f loor.

• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a dif ferent floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke

alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT

designed to detect any other gas.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide

gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been fixed. NEVER IGNORE

THE ALARM!

• Industry experts recommend a CO alarm be installed on each level of the home --ideally on any level with fuel

burning appliances and outside of sleeping areas.

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN ORDINARY INDOOR LOCATIONS OF FAMILY

LIVING UNITS. IT IS NOT DESIGNE D TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND

HEALTH ADMINISTRATION OSHA COMM ERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS. IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR

INSTALL ATION IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AS DEFINED IN THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE. IT IS NOT

DESIGNED FOR USE IN A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE RV  OR BOAT.

• The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel

burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

• This alarm does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve any existing CO problem.

WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM ACUTE EFFECTS OF CAR

BON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE . IT MAY NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WIT H SPECIFIC MEDICAL

CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. INDIVIDUAL S WITH M EDICAL PROB

LEMS MAY CONSIDER USING WARNING DEV ICES WHICH PROVIDE AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNAL S FOR

CARBON MONOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS UNDER 30 PPM.

• This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 70 PPM.

• This combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply of electrical power – it will not

work without power.
