To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working
order, please follow these simple steps:
• Verify the unit’s alarm, LED lights and battery operation
by pushing the Test/Reset button once a week.
• Remove the unit from mounting plate and vacuum
the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush
attachment once a month to remove dust and
dirt. R E I N S TALL IMMEDIAT E LY AFTER CLEANING
AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET BUTTON.
• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other
aerosols near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and
interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke and
CO. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean
inside. This action will void your warranty.
Move the Smoke/CO Alarm to another location prior
to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
• Painting
• Wall papering
• Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the
above projects will protect the sensors from damage.
Do not place near a diaper pail.
WARNING! Reinstall the Smoke/CO Alarm as soon as
possible to assure continuous protection.
When household cleaning supplies or similar
contaminates are used, the area must be well
ventilated. The following substances can affect the
CO sensor and may cause false readings and damage
to the sensor: Methane, propane, iso-butane, iso-
propanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide
dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner,
solvents, adhesives, hair spray, after shave,
perfume, and some cleaning agents.
If any form of battery failure is detected the red LED
light will flash and the unit will “chirp” one time,
followed by the warning message “ L o w Battery! Pile
Faible!” This cycle will occur once every minute
for the first hour. After the first hour, the red LED
light will continue flashing accompanied by the chirp
only sound every 60 seconds. The voice message
“ L ow Battery! Pile Faible!” will sound once every
fifteen minutes during the chirp only cycle, and will
continue for at least seven days.
If the red LED light flashes along with a chirp every 30
seconds, and is not followed by the voice message
“ L ow Battery! Pile Faible!” as described above, your
unit has malfunctioned. Call our toll free Consumer
Hotline at 1-800-880-6788 for instructions on how to
return the unit.
