WARNING! -THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN ORDINARY INDOOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS.
WARNING! - ACTION OF THIS DEVICE INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF DANGEROUS LEVELS OF
CO! CO CAN BE FATAL!
CAUTION! -This combo smoke/CO alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source
of combustion. It is not designed to detect any other gas.
CAUTION! -This combo smoke/CO alarm will not protect against the risk of smoke or carbon monoxide
poisoning when the battery has been drained.
WARNING! -Installation of the alarm should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and
maintenance of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
CAUTION! -This device should be installed by a competent person.
CAUTION! - THIS DEVICE WILL ONLY INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS AT THE
SENSOR. CARBON MONOXIDE GAS MIGHT BE PERSENT IN OTHER AREAS.
WARNING! - Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. This alarm has not been
investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 70 PPM.
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA
Standard 72. For instance: a) Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example,
when a person’s clothes catch fire while cooking; b) Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the
smoke alarm due to a closed door or other obstruction; c) Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly
that an occupants egress is blocked even with properly located smoke alarms.
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 make 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.
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.

4.2 Locations to avoid
To ensure the combo smoke/CO alarm work properly and provide detection performance, do not
install the device in the following places:
1)Near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot
water heaters). Install at least 10 feet (3m) away from these areas. Use specialized smoke alarm
device with unwanted alarm control for this areas.
2)In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines or
directly above a sink. Install at least 10 feet (3m) away from these areas.
The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.
What to do in case of fire.
1.Do not be panic, stay calm.
2.While leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. lf hot, or if you see
smoke seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. lf the inside
of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat
and smoke rush in.
3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.
4.Call the fire department or 911 from outside the building.
5.Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the fire department to arrive.
NOTE: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire, however, to reduce the chance that
fires will start, practice fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.

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.
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.

7. 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/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.
6.4 Troubleshooting Guide
2) How to deactivate alarm
Remove the deactivation device key from the bottom case and insert it into the deactivation device.
The red indicator light of the smoke alarm stays on, indicating that the smoke alarm is deactivated.
Once deactivated the alarm is incapable of being reactivated and must be replaced.
04 05 06
CAUTION!-
Test the alarm for correct operation using the facility when you activate the alarm.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poisonous gas that can be
fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
8.1 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.
8.2 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.
8.3 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 disorientation. 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 carboxyhe-
moglobin 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.
WARNING! - Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent
damage or disabilities.
WARNING! - This device may not prevent chronic effects of carbon monoxide exposure or
fully safeguard individuals at special risk.

8.4 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.
