Tamper Resist Feature
To make the Smoke/CO alarm tamper resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting plate (see Figure 1A). Rotate the alarm onto the mounting plate until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm.
Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others from removing the alarm. To remove the alarm, press on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the mounting plate (see Figure 1B).
Features
Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm constantly monitors the air for products of combustion that are produced when something is burning or smoldering. When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specified concentration, the alarm/voice message warning system will sound, accompanied by the flashing red LED light.
NOTE: The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.
This unit has a smoke sensor that uses the ionization t e chnology.
Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early wa rning of p o s s i ble fi res at a reasonable cost,h oweve r,alarms have sensing limitations.
I o n i z a t i o n sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
P h o t o e l e c t ri c sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
Home fi res develop in diffe rent ways and are often
u n p redictabl e . For maximum pro t e c t i o n ,Kidde re c o m m e n d s both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed.
C AU T I O N : Smoke must reach the sensor to be detected. Smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door, or on a different floor. The alarm may be unable to wake a sound s l e e p e r, or someone impaired by alcohol or drugs.
