2. Product important information
6) This smoke alarm may not alert every household member every time. The alarm horn is
loud in order to alert individuals to a potential danger. However, there may be some
circumstances where a household member may not hear the alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor
noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect that
this device may not alert a household member, should install and maintain other specialty
smoke alarm devices. Household member 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 fire. If a
household member is hard of hearing, install other special smoke alarm with lights or
vibrating devices to alert occupants.
7) This smoke alarm can only sound their alarms when they detect dangerous level of
smoke in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or other gas. The device is designed to give
audible warning of smoke dangerous.
8) This smoke alarm have limitations. The device is not foolproof and is not warranted to
protect lives or property from fire. Smoke alarm is not a substitute for insurance. Homeown-
ers and renters should insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the device
to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test the device weekly and replace every 10
years.
1) The TEST/SILENCE button accurately tests the device functions. Do not use any other
test method. Test the device weekly to ensure proper operation. Do not install in non-resi-
dential buildings. And the device is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
2) If you're sure it isn't a real alarm, open windows or fan the air around the device to silence
it.
3) Observe and follow all local and national electrical and building codes for installation.
4) This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single family only. In multifamily
buildings, each individual living unit should have its own smoke alarm devices. Do not install
it in non-residential buildings. And the device is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
5) Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of the home. Smoke may not reach
the smoke alarm for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the home,
on another level, in a chimney, wall, roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke may
not reach the device in time to alert household members. This smoke alarm will not promptly
detect a fire danger except in the area or room in which it is installed.

Smoke Nuisance
SILENCE: If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verify that it is not a life
threatening situation, you can push the button silence the alarm for about 8 minutes. If the
smoke is not too dense, that unit will be silenced. After the SILENCE period, the smoke alarm
will automatically reset and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. You
can use SILENCE repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the
alarm.
NOTE: Pressing the button on the initiating smoke unit in your system will silence the alarm
notification, including all interconnected units.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override SILENCE and sound a continuous alarm. If no fire is
present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in "Locations to avoid" may have caused the
alarm. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department or 911.
This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause
the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from
cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities
of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range
hood which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help prevent nuisance
alarms from occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.

6. General maintenance
Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at night. Know two
ways out of every room(door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home
where everyone will gather once they have exited the residence. When two people have
reached the meeting place, one should leave to call the fire department's telephone number
while the second person stay to account for additional family members. Establish a rule
that once you're out, you never reenter under any circumstance!
■Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and least two escape routes from each
room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
■Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in
case of fire and where to meet after they leave the house.
■Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up
on order to execute the escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to test your plan before
an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to
do.
■Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave you home
when they hear it.
■Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and
that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting other
to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those
who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
■Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen,
basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
CAUTION!-
Test the alarm for correct operation using the facility when you activate the
alarm.
WARNING!-If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately. Products under
warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for replacement. See “Warranty Information” at the end
of this manual.
WARNING!
-DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range
may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding. It is important to test
this unit every week to make sure it is working properly.
WARNING!
-Using the test button is the recommended way to test this Smoke Alarm.
WARNING!
-Press and hold the Test/Silence button Test / Silence button 1s to verify proper alarm
operation. (During testing, the unit may red LED flash accompanied with periodic alarm sounds. The test
