CELLULAR COMBINATION SMOKE/CO DETECTOR

MODEL NO. LASCD‐01

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This installation instruction guide will introduce you to the basic features, operations, and safety considerations of the Life Alert Cellular combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector. Please take
the time to thoroughly read this guide and save it for future reference. The detector is designed to automatically and independently sense both smoke (not flame) and CO gas in an ordinary residential
environment. Itprovidesan early warning of developing smoke and CO events by sounding a built-in 8 5 decibel alarm siren and transmitting an alarm signal to the Life Alert Monitoring Center.

CAUTION!! This device will only indicate the presence of smoke andCO gas at the sensor. Smoke and CO gas may be present in other areas of the residence.
Effective pre-warning of smoke and CO events is only possible if the detector is located, installed and maintained as described here in this guide. If you have any questions about this device, please
contact the Life Alert Technical Service Department at1-800-451-7858. 16027 Ventura Blvd. Suite 400 Encino CA 91436, U.S.A
The Smoke/CO detector will operate and alert you to the following conditions in the manner described here:

FEATURES
SMOKE ALARM: Utilizing photoelectric technology, the smoke sensor monitors the air for products of combustion

that are p roduced when something is burning or smoldering. When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specified concentration, the alarm siren will sound. The alarm pattern is three (3) short
alarm sirens with three (3) corresponding flashes of the red LED light. This pattern will repeat until the smoke event is eliminated. The smoke alarm will take precedence when both smoke and CO are
present. For increased protection, Life Alert recommends that both ionization and photoelectric detectors be installed in the residence.

CO ALARM: Utilizing electrochemical technology, the CO sensor monitors the air for the presence of carbon monoxide. When there are high levels of CO present, or low levels of CO present over a
longer period of time, the alarm siren will sound. The alarm pattern is four (4) long alarm sirens with four (4) corresponding flashes of the red LED light. This pattern will repeat until the CO event is
eliminated. The CO sensor is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. IT IS NOT

TEST BUTTONS: To conduct a local test, push the two test buttons at the same time to verify proper smoke and CO sensor operation. If both test buttons are pressed, the alarm pattern is one (1) short
alarm siren with one (1) corresponding steady flash of the red LED light.

LOW BATTERY: The device is powered by three (3) AA Energizer L91 lithium batteries. W hen the batteries are low and need to be replaced, the device will chirp once and the amber LED light will flash
once every fifty (50) seconds. The pattern will repeat until the batteries are removed (and replaced) or the batteries cease functioning.

SMOKE TROUBLE: When there is a trouble issue with the smoke sensor, the device will chirp three (3) times and the amber LED light will flash once every fifty (50) seconds.
SMOKE LOW SENSITIVITY: When there is a low sensitivity issue with the smoke sensor, the device will chirp two (2) times and the amber LED light will flash once every fifty (50) seconds.
CO TROUBLE: When there is a trouble issue with the CO sensor, the devicewill chirp once and the amber LED light will flash two (2) times every fifty (50) seconds.

DESIGNED TO DETECT ANY OTHER GAS.

END OF PRODUCT LIFE: After five (5) years of cumulative use, the device will chirp once and the amber LED light will flash four (4) times every fifty (50) seconds. This indicates that the device must be

replaced immediately as it may not be able to detect CO in this condition. Please call the Life Alert TechnicalService Department at 1-800-451-7858 for furtherassistance.
WHERE TO INSTALL: Before installing your Smoke/CO detector, it is important to choose the best locations in your home. Placement will affect how well the device performs and how well residents

hear the alarm siren if it sounds. For maximum protection, Life Alert recommends a Smoke/CO detector be installed on each level of a multi-level home,

attics and basements. Install a detector in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. A closed door may prevent a detector not located in that room from waking the occupant.
For bedrooms, hallways, or large rooms greater than 30 feet (9.1 m) in length, install detectors at both ends of the room or hallway. For additional protection, place additional Smoke/CO
detectors between 5 and 20 feetfrom potential sources of CO, such as a furnace, water heater or fireplace.

If youonly have one detector, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside of the main sleeping area,or in the mainbedroom. Verify that the detector can be heard in all sleepingareas. Do not
install the Smoke/CO detector in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, fireplaces, bathrooms, or unfinished attics. Keep the device at least 5 feet (1.5 m) awayfrom any fuel-burningequipment.
Keep the device at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the following: a door to a kitchen or bathroom (that contains a tub or shower), air conditioners or forced airsupply ducts used for heating or
cooling,ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flowareas. Keep the detectoraway from drapes or other objects that may block airflow to the sensors.Do not place the device
in the direct sunlight or near doors and windows that open up to the outside. Install the detector at least 1 foot (0.3 m) away from fluorescent lights. Do notinstall in areas where the
temperatureis colder than 40degrees Fahrenheit (4.4Celsius) or hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit(37.8 Celsius) as extreme temperature will affect the sensitivity of the Smoke/CO
detector. Do not install in areaswhere the relative humidityis greater than 85%. Avoid excessively dirty, dusty, orgreasy areas. Dirt, dust, grease, or household chemicals cancontaminate
the device’s sensors, causing it to not operate properly.Make sure to keepthe detector away fromany insect infested areas.

CEILING OR WALL INSTALLATION: Ceiling mountingis preferred in an ordinary residential environment. Smoke, heat and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.
Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room. When mounting a detector on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4 inches(10 cm) from
the side wall (see Figure 3). If installing the detector on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the deviceat a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) anda maximum of 12 inches (30.5 cm)
belowthe ceiling (see Figure4).

including every bedroom, hallways, finished

SLOPED CEILINGINSTALLATION: Accordingto the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Code 72, one should install smoke detectors on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilingsat
or within 3 feet (0.9 m) of the highest point (measuredhorizontally). Do not install the Smoke/ CO detector in the peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame ceilings, or gabled roofs (see Figure 4).
Smoke detectors in rooms withceiling slopes greater than 1 to 8 feet (0.3 to 2.4 m) horizontally should be located on the high side of theroom. Arrow of detectorsshould be spaced and
located with 3 feet (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally.

REMOVING THE BRACKET:

Remove the bracket from the back of the Smoke/CO detector by holding the rim of the bracket and twisting it counter-clockwise (to the left) as shown here. Once removed, proceed to install
the batteries. The Smoke/CO detector requires three (3) AA Energizer L91 lithium batteries. Open the battery covers and insert a battery into each of the three compartments. The battery
polarity markings on the cover and inside of each battery compartment must be adhered to. The battery compartments are fitted with a red latch that will prevent the detector from locking onto
the bracket if there are no batteries inside. All three batteries must be properly installed and in good condition for the unit to operate. Removal of any of the batteries will render the detector
inoperative.Replacement batteries maybe purchased at your local retailer. Onlyuse the batteries specified.

MOUNTING THE BRACKET: The detector must be mounted on a wall or ceiling with its bracket. It is not designed for use as atabletop device. Hold the bracket against the selected
installation location (wall or ceiling)and mark the centerof the holes with a pencil. Drill a holethrough each pencil mark and fasten the bracket to mounting surface with two (2) screws. Once
mounted, carefully align the detector with the bracket and rotate it clockwise (to the right) until the device is locked in place. Gently pull the detector outward to verify that it is securely
attached.

TESTING: Test both sensors with the Monitoring Center once installation is complete. Pressand hold down each test button (separately) until the built-in siren sounds and the device begins
to enunciate that an alarm has been activated. Wait for a Life Alert Operator to respond and confirm a successful test. Make sure to conduct a separate test for each sensor. The Smoke/ CO
detector must be tested regularly to ensure that the batteries and alarm circuits are in good operating condition. The test buttons for the smoke and CO sensors may also be used to enroll
sensors.

Environmental Use Conditions:

WARNING: The tests buttons are the only way to properly test the smoke and CO sensors. Never use smoke or vehicle exhaust as they may cause permanent damage and void your
warranty.
To keep your Smoke/CO detector in good working order, please follow these simple steps. Verify alarm siren, LE D lights, and battery operation by pushing the test buttons at least once a
week. Remove the device from the mounting bracket and vacuum the detector cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt. Reinstall immediately after
cleaning and then test using the tests button. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside of it as this will void your warranty. Never use detergents or solvents to clean the unit.
When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated. The following substances can damage the sensors and may cause false readings:
methane, propane, isobutene, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol base products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, after shave, perfume, and
some cleaning agents. Do not paint the device. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with its ability to detect smoke and C O. Move the detector prior to performing any of the following:
staining or stripping wood floors or furniture, painting, wall papering, using adhesives. Store the detector in a plastic bag during any of the above projects to help protect the sensors from
damage.Make sure to reinstall the detector once done so as to assure continuousprotection.
