WARNING! -THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN ORDINARY INDOOR
RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS.
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-residential 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 Combo Smoke/CO 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.
5)Install a Combo Smoke/CO 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 Combo
Smoke/CO alarm will not promptly detect a fire or CO danger except in the
area or room in which it is installed.
6)This Combo Smoke/CO 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 or/and CO 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
or/and CO alarm with lights or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
7)This Combo Smoke/CO alarm can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke or detect combustion particles or dangerous level of CO in
the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or other gas. The device is designed
to give audible warning of a developing fire. However, many fires are fast -
burning, explosive, or intentional, and others are caused by carelessness or
safety hazards. In these cases, smoke may not remake the unit alarm
QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
8)This Combo Smoke/CO alarm have limitations. The device is not foolproof
and is not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke alarm
or/and CO alarm are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners 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.

7. Carbon monoxide (CO) overview
6. General maintenance
11. Good safety habits
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/CO alarm and train them to
leave you home when they hear it.
■Current studies have shown smoke/CO 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.

9. Product Specifications
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: 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.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance
RESET: Pushing the button during CO alarm allows the unit to reset
calculations and double check for the presence of CO. If the unit re-alarms
within 5 minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a
dangerous situation. Exit to fresh air and call 911.
WARNING! - lt is impossible to determine the source of a CO alarm using
sight or smell. Always consider a CO alarm event as dangerous.
10. Recognizing Nuisance Alarms
3) Chirping
When End-of-Life or low battery chirping begins, you can temporarily silence
these chirps by pressing the TEST/SILENCE button. See Troubleshooting
Guide.
WARNING!-
Replace unit as soon as possible when in End-of-Life mode.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poisonous
gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the bloods ability to carry
oxygen.
7.1 Possible Sources of CO
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely
sources of CO. Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an attached
garage and using a charcoal/gas grill or hibachi in an enclosed area are all
possible sources of CO. Generators running in enclosed areas, such as
garages or living spaces, will create CO. CO can be produced when burning
any fossil fuel: gasoline diesel, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. lt can be
produced by any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly
installed, or not ventilated correctly, such as: Furnaces/boilers, gas ranges
stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters,
fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters. Blocked
chimneys or flues, back drafting and changes in air pressure, corroded or
disconnected vent pipes, or a loose or cracked furnace heat exchanger can
also release CO into your building.
7.2 The Following Conditions Can Result In Transient CO Situations
1) Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances may be
caused by:
i) Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air
with extended periods between cycles).
ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for
limited internal air.
iv) Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or
water heaters.
v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the
above situations.
vi) Poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents.
2) Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (such as ranges,
ovens, or fireplaces).
3) Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
4) Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
7.3 Symptoms of CO Poisoning
Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever
and can include dizziness, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorien-
tation. Everyone is susceptible but experts agree that unborn babies, pregnant
women, senior citizensand people with heart or respiratory problems are
especially vulnerable. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are
experienced seek medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be
determined by a carboxyhemoglobin test.
The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:
1. MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as “Flu-like” symptoms).
2. MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,
confusion, rapid heart rate.
3. EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory
failure, and death.
The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels may vary for
those at high risk. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning
indicate that while victims are aware they are not feeling well, they become
so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the
building or calling for assistance. Additionally, young children and household
pets may be the first to be affected.
7.4 CO Safety Tips
Every year, have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected and
cleaned by a qualified technician. Always install appliances according to
manufacturer's instructions and adhere to local building codes. Most
appliances should be installed by professionals and inspected after
installation.
Regularly examine vents and chimneys for improper connections, visible rust,
or stains, and check for cracks in furnace heat exchangers. Verify that the
color of flame is blue on pilot lights and burners. An amber or orange flame is
a sign that the fuel is not burning completely and may be releasing CO.
Teach all household members what the alarm sounds like and how to
respond. Fire Departments, most utility companies and HVAC contractors will
perform CO inspections. Some contractors may charge for this service. lt's
advisable to inquire about any applicable fees prior to having the service
performed. Siterwell will not pay for, or reimburse the owner or user of this
product, for any repair or dispatch calls related to the alarm sounding.
Install or replace battery:
1) Install or replace the battery:
Open the battery cover and Install or replace with new battery. (See Diagram
1-2)
2) After you Installed or replaced the battery:
Close the battery cover, then test smoke alarm using TEST/ SILENCE
