T
his Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use
i
n industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met.The Smoke
Alarm por
tion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired resi-
d
ents. Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired
residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).
Sm
oke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.
P
ractice the escape plan
at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to
gr
andparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice
be
fore holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others
do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are
i
nfants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone
is assig
ned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is
recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in
or
der to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while
sle
eping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of
an emergency.
Sm
oke
/C
O
Al
arms cannot work without power.
Ba
ttery operated units cannot
work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of
b
atteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot
w
ork 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
w
ires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power,
i
nstall both types of units.
T
his Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach
the s
ensors.
I
t 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
w
hich CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed
a
t night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and
Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom
a
nd in the hallway between them.
This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of
the h
ome.
E
xample: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not
se
nse smo
ke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may
not give adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one
a
larm 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
d
etails, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.
Sm
oke/CO Alarms may not be heard.
T
he alarm horn loudness meets or
e
xceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the
Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a
sou
nd sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking
a
lcoholic 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 b
locked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio,
t
elevision, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons
from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people
w
ho are hearing impaired.
T
he 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 i
mmediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed,
chi
ldren 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
Smo
ke/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.
T
his Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life.
Alt
hough this Smoke/CO Alarm
a
nd all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be
as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time.Therefore, you
m
ust test this device weekly.The unit should be replaced immediately if it is
no
t operating properly.
T
his Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof.
L
ike all other electronic devices, this
Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches
t
he sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a
r
emote part of the home, away from the alarm device.
