02 ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS
TYPES OF ALARMS
All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of res if located, installed and cared
for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of
Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72 (National Fire
Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101. Local building codes may also require specic units in
new construction or in different areas of the home.
Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the
batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional
installation. They do not, however, provide interconnected functionality.
AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units Alarm.
They do not operate if electricity fails.
AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and
correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualied electrician.
Wireless Interconnected Alarms: Offer the same interconnected functionality as with hardwired
Alarms, without wires. Units are easy to install and do not require professional installation. They
provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.
Smoke Alarms for solar or wind energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered
Smoke Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Smoke
Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or
“quasi sine wave” inverters If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS will damage the Alarm.
type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.
Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the
hearing impaired. They include a visual Alarm and an audible Alarm horn, and meet the requirements
of the Americans With Disabilities Act. These units can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke,
all units Alarm.
Smoke Alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated
and found suitable for that purpose.
All First Alert
®
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 res.
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at
detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by aming res,
which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these res
may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease re 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
res, which may smolder for hours before bursting into ame. Sources of these res 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.
03 INSTALLATION
WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM
Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every oor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See
“Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).
For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm
should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the
bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every
level of your home.
NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured
homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the
furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm
the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted Alarms.
IN GENERAL, INSTALL COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS:
• On every level of your home, including nished attics and basements.
• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.
• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each.
If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.
• At the top of rst-to-second oor stairs.
• At the bottom of the basement stairs.
• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures
normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F (4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).
RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:
Smoke Alarm
One on every level and
in every bedroom
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
One on every level and
in every bedroom
Fire Extinguisher
One on every level, plus
kitchen and garage
• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches
(102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.
• When installing on the ceiling, place the Alarm as close to the center as possible.
• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet.
NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke
from reaching the Alarm.
WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU AVOID INSTALLING SMOKE/CO ALARMS
IN THESE AREAS:
• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unnished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty
or greasy areas.
• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns.
Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at
least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater,
space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular,
mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far
from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended
to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce
“unwanted” Alarms. Unwanted Alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a
fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can
draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted Alarms.
• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,
humidier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.
• In direct sunlight.
• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from
reaching the sensors.
• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). These
areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unnished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated
ceilings, porches, and garages.
• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.
• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from uorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere
with the sensor.
• In “dead air” spaces.
AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES
“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm. To avoid dead air spaces,
follow installation recommendations below.
On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not
possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.
For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO Alarms should be placed
between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.
On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the rst Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9
meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required
depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements
for sloped or peaked ceilings.
HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM
IMPORTANT!
This Smoke/CO Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch
(10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes). Read “Where to Install This Alarm”
and “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” before you begin installation.
Find the self-adhesive labels included with this Smoke/CO Alarm.
• On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualied
appliance technician.
• Place one label near the Smoke/CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan
to go if the Alarm sounds.
NOTE: A qualied appliance technician is dened as “a person, rm, corporation, or company that
either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing,
servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion
appliances and equipment, and/or gas replaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”
Tools you will need: needle-nose pliers or utility knife, standard athead screwdriver, wire strippers

each Alarm individually to check if the Alarm is functioning properly.
DANGER!
If any unit in the series does not Alarm during testing, TURN OFF POWER and recheck
connections. If it does not Alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED ALARMS
! WARNING!
• Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to
malfunction, removing your protection.
• AC and AC/DC Alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will Alarm when one
senses smoke or CO. When power is interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the series will continue to
send and receive signals. AC powered Alarms will not operate.
Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of a smoke/CO problem than stand-alone units,
especially if the problem starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses smoke/
CO, all units will Alarm. To determine which Smoke/CO Alarm initiated an Alarm, refer to the table.

• Identies unit that initiated Alarm.Alarm Indicator:
• Add protection in minutesEasy Installation:
LATCHING FEATURES
Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to Alarm levels of smoke or carbon
monoxide. This feature will only work with AC power. See “Special Requirements for
Interconnected Alarms” for signaling.
This feature helps emergency responders, investigators, or service technicians identify which
unit(s) in your home were exposed to Alarm levels of smoke. This can help investigators
pinpoint the source of smoke.
Interconnected Alarms. Latching Alarm Indicator shows which Alarm(s) in the series were
exposed to Alarm levels of smoke. The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until you clear it,
so it can alert you to an Alarm that occurred while you were away from home, even though
smoke present in the air has dropped below Alarm levels.
Low Battery Latch is activated when the Alarm is in the “low battery condition”. When this
occurs, the Green LED ashes 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off. This feature is designed to help
you identify which Alarm needs to have the battery replaced.

in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store ammable materials in proper
containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;
5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, replaces and chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave
anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open ames, like candles,
away from ammable 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 re. Keep at least one working re extinguisher on every level, and an additional

06 IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS
WHAT TO DO FIRST: IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM SIGNAL
Refer to previous section “What You Will See And Hear With This Alarm”.
! WARNING!
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In
other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!
IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:
1. Press the Test/Silence button.
2. Call your emergency services, re department or 911. Write down the number of your local
emergency service here:
____________________________________________________________________
3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check
that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door
or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out,
and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps
1-3 and call a qualied appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning
equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are
identied during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion
equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact
the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure
that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the
residence. Write down the number of a qualied appliance technician here:
____________________________________________________________________
NOTE: A qualied appliance technician is dened as “a person, rm, corporation, or company that
either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing,
servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion
appliances and equipment, and/or gas replaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

situation that requires your immediate attention. ignore any Alarm. Ignoring the Alarm may NEVER
result in injury or death.
• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO Alarm to stop an unwanted Alarm
(caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the Alarm so it cannot sense smoke,
and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The
Alarm will reset automatically.
• If the unit Alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.
DANGER!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all Alarms are completely installed.
Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock,
injury or death.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE
• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.
• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.
• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t
open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.
• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure
everybody got out safely.
• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.
• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.
! WARNING!
Alarms have various limitations. See “General Limitations of Smoke/CO Alarms” for details.
07 USING THE SILENCE FEATURES
! WARNING!
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 the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode
continuously, it should be replaced immediately.
Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted Alarm. Removing the batteries disables the
Alarm and removes your protection.
• The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the
problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not correct a CO problem
or extinguish a re.
• The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted Alarm for several minutes. You can silence
this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover.

increase–the device will go back into Alarm.
The CO Alarm will remain silent for
up to 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes, if CO levels remain
potentially dangerous the horn will start
sounding again.
