This Smoke Alarm is designed to operate for 10 years, and is backed
by a 10-year limited warranty. To date, the actual alarm, however, has
not been tested for 10 years. The powercell in this Smoke Alarm is not
replaceable. When it reaches the end of its service life, you must replace
the entire Smoke Alarm to continue your protection.
IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM
Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of a dead or weak
powercell, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover,
or installation in an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as
described in “Regular Maintenance,” and test the Smoke Alarm again.
If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the problem
persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.
•
If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those
caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.
• If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or
relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty.
• If the alarm no longer sounds during testing, replace the
Smoke Alarm! If the Smoke Alarm was properly activated, and
had previously alarmed during testing, the powercell is at the
end of its service life. (See “Regular Maintenance.”)
• If the alarm will not silence when you use the Silence feature,
DO NOT IGNORE THE ALARM! This indicates a potentially
dangerous situation.
• If the Smoke Alarm “chirps” about once a minute (for more
than 30 minutes), Replace the Smoke Alarm! (See “Regular
Maintenance.”) This is the low power warning.
DO NOT TRY FIXING THE ALARM YOURSELF—THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
If the Smoke Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under
warranty, please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited
Warranty below.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR
SMOKE ALARMS
Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one
Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bed-
room. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered
and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for
details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a
Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and
basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C)
and 100˚ F (38˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep
smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.
More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:
•
On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.
• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly
or completely closed.
• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple
sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is over 40 feet (12
meters) long, install an alarm at each end.
• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at bottom of
basement stairway.
Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to
state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department
for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC
units be interconnected for added protection.
