MODEL SS-795

EARLY WARNING

SMOKE & FIRE ALARM

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

The smoke alarm has a recommended service life of at least 10 years under normal conditions. The smoke alarm uses an extremely small amount of a radioactive element in the ionization chamber. Do not tamper with radioactive sealed source or try to repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to instructions for repairs.

SMOKE ALARM LIMITATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

•THERE ARE TWO BASIC SMOKE ALARM TYPES - IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC. Ionization smoke alarms are your best overall choice for reliability and fast response time, since they quickly sense small "invisible" smoke particles and will also sense larger "visible" smoke particles. Photoelectric smoke alarms may respond more quickly in certain types of fires, for example - slow smoldering fires with large "visible" smoke particles. ALL TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS HAVE LIMITATIONS. NO TYPE OF SMOKE ALARM CAN SENSE EVERY KIND OF FIRE OR SMOKE EVERY TIME.

•WARNING - SMOKE ALARMS WILL NOT WORK DURING A LOSS OF POWER. SINCE A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER, having an alarm(s) that works from two completely different power sources, such as an AC direct wire with battery backup smoke alarm, can give you an extra measure of protection in case of an AC power failure or a dead battery.

•USING A SMOKE ALARM IN A SMOKY AREA LIKE A KITCHEN, OR IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA NEAR A SHOWER, CAN CAUSE FALSE ALARMS. DO NOT TURN OFF THE AC POWER TO QUIET THE ALARM. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT HELP PROTECT YOU IF IT IS NOT POWERED. Properly locate your alarm to avoid nuisance alarms.

•ASMOKEALARM MAYNOTALWAYSWARNYOUABOUTFIRES CAUSED BYCARELESSNESS AND SAFETY HAZARDS LIKE SMOKING IN BED, VIOLENT EXPLOSIONS, ESCAPING GAS, IMPROPER STORAGE OF FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, OVERLOADED ELECTRICALCIRCUITS, CHILDREN PLAYING WITH MATCHES, NATURALCAUSES SUCHAS LIGHTNING, ORARSON. FIRE PREVENTION IS YOUR BEST SAFEGUARD.

•INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS MAY MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR LOWER INSURANCE RATES, but SMOKE ALARMS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INSURANCE. Homeowners and renters alike should continue to insure their lives and properties.

•SMOKE ALARMS CANNOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC (only) powered units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason. If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

•SMOKE ALARMS CANNOT DETECT FIRES IF THE SMOKE DOES NOT REACH THEM. Smoke from fires may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the alarm. One unit should be installed inside each bedroom or sleeping area.

•SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT DETECT FIRE ON ANOTHER FLOOR OR AREA OF THE HOME. Recommended minimum protection is at least one unit in every sleeping area and every bedroom on every level of your home. Interconnected units may provide earlier warning than stand-alone units since all units alarm when one detects smoke.

•SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT BE HEARD. The alarm horn in this unit meets or exceeds current standards, but it may not be heard if: (1) the unit is located outside a closed or partially closed door; (2) residents recently consumed alcohol or drugs; (3) the alarm is drowned out by noise from stereos, TV's, air conditioners or other appliances or (4) if residents are hearing impaired or sound sleepers.

•SMOKE ALARMS ARE NOT FOOLPROOF. You must test the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Smoke alarms cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

•SMOKE ALARMS HAVE A LIMITED LIFE. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. You should always replace a smoke alarm after 10 years.

•SMOKE ALARMS ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS UNLESS THE COMBINATION HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE.

•CURRENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT AWAKEN ALL SLEEPING INDIVIDUALS AND THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE HOUSEHOLD WHO ARE CAPABLE OF ASSISTING OTHERS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE AWAKENED BY THE ALARM SOUND OR TO THOSE WHO MAY BE INCAPABLE OF SAFELY EVACUATING THE AREA UNASSISTED.

Built with advanced technology and user-friendly features, this device offers comprehensive protection from potential fire and carbon monoxide hazards.

One of the standout features of the SS-795 is its dual-sensor technology, which combines photoelectric and ionic sensors. This dual approach allows the device to detect smoke from various types of fires, including both smoldering and fast-flaming fires, ensuring a quicker reaction to potential dangers. The photoelectric sensor is particularly efficient in detecting slow-burning fires, which often produce more smoke and are more likely to occur in residential environments.

Another key characteristic of the SS-795 is its built-in voice alarm system. This feature includes a clear voice announcement that not only alerts users to the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide but also specifies the nature of the hazard. This is particularly beneficial for households with children or elderly members, as it ensures that everyone is promptly informed of the danger.

The SS-795 is also equipped with a unique hush feature, allowing users to temporarily silence the alarm during false alarms, such as those caused by cooking smoke. This prevents unnecessary panic and ensures that the alarm only sounds when genuinely needed. In addition, the detector comes with a low battery chirp indicator, notifying users when it’s time to replace the battery for optimal performance.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly design of the SS-795. The device is battery-powered, ensuring that it remains operational even during power outages. Its sleek design allows for easy integration into any home decor, whether mounted on a ceiling or placed on a wall.
