It is designed to enhance the safety of homes and businesses by promptly detecting smoke and hazardous carbon monoxide gases, which can pose serious threats to life and property.

One of the key features of the First Alert 4800 is its dual-sensor technology.

This ensures minimal disruption, as users can quickly replace batteries when needed. The unit is also equipped with a test button that allows users to check the functionality of the alarm with a simple press.

Another noteworthy technology included in the First Alert 4800 is its voice alarm feature.
