Ionization & Photoelectric Technology (Continued)
Photoelectric Technology
Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large
particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours
before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
NOTE: For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.
Fire Safety Tips
Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:
1. Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
2. Keep matches or lighters away from children.
3. Store flammable materials in proper containers.
4. Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits.
5. Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease-free and debris-free.
6. Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended.
7. Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials.
8. Don’t let rubbish accumulate.
Basic Safety Information
Keep alarms clean and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working
properly. Smoke alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working
fire extinguisher on every floor and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders
or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

IMPORTANT: Dangers, Warnings and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions
or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special attention to these items. This Smoke/CO
Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.
!
CAUTION: This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms.
The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate
the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas. The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that
reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.
