During alarm mode, the horn produces three short beeps followed by a 2 second pause and then repeats. This pattern is somewhat different than the previous alarm sound, which continually beeped. • Install a smoke alarm in each room and area of your home. See “WHERE YOU SHOULD INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS.” 1 • Smoke alarms cannot give you an early warning of fire or smoke unless you install, use and maintain them by following these instructions. • You must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury or death that may result from a fire. • Your smoke alarm is packaged with the battery disconnected. Connect it to the battery leads before mounting the smoke alarm. • A smoke alarm will not work without a good battery installed correctly. The smoke alarm must be tested when a new battery is installed and every week after that. • A smoke alarm that beeps about once per minute means the battery is weak, and you need a new battery. • A smoke alarm should never be used, in any case, for more than 10 years. WHAT SMOKE ALARMS CAN DO Smoke alarms can only HELP protect your home and family against loss from a fire. The best protection is obtained by installing smoke alarms in each room, and each other area of the home, making sure the people in the home will be able to hear and respond to the alarm sound. Your smoke alarm meets or exceeds the requirements for audibility, or loudness, set by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. !WARNING: SMOKE ALARMS MAY GIVE YOU A WARNING OF FIRE AND SMOKE, BUT ONLY IF YOU INSTALL, USE AND MAINTAIN THEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. WHAT SMOKE ALARMS WILL NOT DO A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. Your smoke alarm needs a good battery that is installed correctly to work. A smoke alarm will not work if its battery is missing, dead or put in wrong. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT SENSE A FIRE WHEN THE SMOKE CANNOT REACH THE ALARM. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, the other side of a closed door, or any other isolated area, the smoke alarm may not sense the smoke and will not give a warning. If you do not have an alarm in the bedroom, and sleep with the door closed, a fire inside the bedroom may not sound the alarm located in another room. Therefore, a smoke alarm must be placed both inside and outside all bedrooms. A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT PROMPTLY SENSE A FIRE EXCEPT IN THE AREA OR ROOM IN WHICH THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED. FOR EXAMPLE: A. A SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT SENSE A FIRE ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF A RESIDENCE OR BUILDING. A second-floor smoke alarm may not detect a fire on the first floor or in the basement of a building. Therefore, smoke alarms must be installed on every floor or level of your home or building. B. IF THE SMOKE ALARM IS LOCATED ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN THE BEDROOMS, OR IN AN ISOLATED AREA OF THE HOUSE OR RESIDENCE, IT IS LESS LIKELY TO WAKE UP PEOPLE SLEEPING IN THE BEDROOMS. ALL TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS HAVE LIMITATIONS. NO TYPE OF SMOKE ALARM CAN SENSE EVERY KIND OF FIRE OR SMOKE EVERY TIME. Ionization smoke alarms are your best overall choice for reliability and fast response time (NFP Research Foundation and U.S. Fire Administration Data) since they quickly sense small “invisible” smoke particles and also sense large “visible” smoke particles. Note, photoelectric smoke alarms may respond faster in certain types of fires, for example slow smoldering fires with large “visible” smoke particles. For additional protection the NFPA recommends the use of multiple smoke alarms and heat detectors. 2 You should use both battery-powered and direct-wired 120-volt AC-powered smoke alarms. Since A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER, having alarms that will work from two different power sources can give you extra protection in case of a dead battery, or an AC power failure. 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 REMOVE YOUR ...
