TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Alarm goes back into alarm after you pressed
the Test/Silence button to silence an alarm.
Smoke and/or CO levels are still potentially
dangerous.
Refer to “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for
details on how to respond to an alarm. If anyone
is feeling ill, EVACUATE your home immediately
and call 911.
If you have any questions that cannot be answered by reading this manual, call Consumer Affairs: 1-800-323-9005.
*For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “Regular Maintenance.”
Alarm sounds frequently even though no high
levels of smoke or CO are revealed in an
investigation.
The Alarm may be improperly located. Refer to
“Where to Install This Alarm.”
Relocate your alarm. If frequent alarms continue,
have home rechecked for potential problems.
You may be experiencing an intermittent smoke
or CO problem.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area where the Alarm is installed BEFORE removing it from the mounting bracket or
checking any electrical connections! Failure to turn off the power first may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS
This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in
industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke
Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents.
Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired resi-
dents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).
Smoke
/CO
Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units cannot
work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of bat-
teries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work
if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along
a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires,
etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both
types of units.
This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the
sensors. It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be
present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which
CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night,
we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm,
or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway
between them.
This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the
home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense
smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give
adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm
device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home.
Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in
conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see
“About Smoke Alarms” for details.
Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or
exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet. However, if the Smoke/CO
Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or
one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This
is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are
awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or
closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other
appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This
Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage,
injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit imme-
diately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing
with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping
gas.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance.
Though this
Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,
BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect
lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and
all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reli-
able as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must
test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not oper-
ating properly.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this
Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches
the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a
remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.
