Important Safety Information

Required Power Supply

•This combination smoke-CO alarm requires constant 120V AC power AND/OR a working 9-volt battery to operate properly.

Recommended Coverage

•Because smoke in one area may not reach a smoke alarm in another, smoke alarms are recommended in every room and on every level of the home. Interconnected alarms can provide better whole-home protection than stand-alone alarms.

•CO alarms are recommended near bedrooms and sleeping areas where they can wake sleeping residents. Additional CO alarms are recommended 5-20 feet from sources of CO like a furnace, water heater, or fireplace.

Installation/Interconnect

•This combination alarm should be installed only by a licensed qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and national elec- trical and building codes for installation.

•Connect this combination alarm ONLY to compatible devices listed in this manual.

Compliance

•This combination alarm is designed to be used in ordinary indoor locations of single-family households only.

•The sensitivity of both the smoke and CO sensors, and the horn patterns for both warn- ings, comply with UL/ULC standards.

General Limitations

•This alarm cannot alert every household mem- ber every time if it cannot be heard because of location, obstructions, ambient noise, condi- tion of residents, etc. It is not intended to alert residents who are hard of hearing.

•ALL alarms have limitations. This combination smoke-CO alarm is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property. It is not a substitute for insurance.

•Because it is possible for the alarm to fail at any time, you must test the alarm weekly and replace it every 5 years.

•Smoke alarms can sound an alarm only when smoke reaches their sensors. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas.

•CO Alarms are designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion that reach their sensor. They are NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other type of gas.
