REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum off any dust using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment, and test the

Smoke Alarm after cleaning. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit

immediately.

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

• When the battery becomes weak or the Alarm has reached it’s end of life, the Smoke Alarm unit will issue a series of 5 quick “chirps”

approximately once a minute (the low battery / end of life warning). The low battery warning can be silenced for 8 hours and should last for up to 7

days, but you should replace the Alarm immediately to continue your protection.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM Continued...

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, apartment buildings, hotels

or motels. See “Special Compliance Considerations” for details.

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

alert 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 working properly.

• 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.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WEEKLY TESTING

• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the

unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by ANSI/

UL Standard 217.

• If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately. Products under warranty may be returned

to the manufacturer for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” for details.

• DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to

your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the test/silence button is

the recommended way to test this Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the test/silence button on the unit until the alarm

sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after you release the button). If it does not alarm, replace

it immediately. During testing you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.

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 electrical 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.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

*All First Alert® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, 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.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 residents 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.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 10 minutes. To use this feature, press the Test/Silence button. If the unit will not silence

and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be replaced immediately. The LED will flash every 8 seconds while in

silence.

The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest

a potentially dangerous situation, the unit will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted

alarm. Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM

Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the

Smoke Alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,” then test the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the problem

persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.

• Three “chirps” is an alarm malfunction, replace the alarm.

• If you hear a series of “chirps” about once a minute, replace the Alarm.

• If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.

• If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty.

• If the alarm does not sound during testing, try installing again and make sure it is snapped in securely.

Do not try fixing the alarm yourself – this will void your warranty!

If the Smoke Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty, please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited Warranty.

TO PERMANENTLY DEACTIVATE THE SMOKE ALARM

Alarm is sealed. The battery pack is not replaceable. Once it reaches the end of its service life, or after 10 years—

whichever comes first—you must install a new Smoke Alarm. After 10 years or after the End of Life warning

sounds (whichever comes first):

1. TO PERMANENTLY DEACTIVATE ALARM:

Slide the deactivation tab located on the base of the alarm outward until it stops as shown. This will discharge the

battery pack and deactivate the unit. Once deactivated the alarm cannot be reactivated and must be replaced.

2. Install a new Smoke Alarm immediately!

Note: Unit cannot be remounted once deactivated

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction,

the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for details. For additional coverage, it is recommended

that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and

100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with doors closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is over 40 feet (12 meters) long, install an alarm at

each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at bottom of basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current

requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.
