Installation  
Recommended Locations  
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the  
bedrooms. Try to monitor the exit path, as the  
bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more  
than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in  
each sleeping area (Image 1A).  
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as  
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.  
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level (Image 1B).  
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.  
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical  
appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or  
humidifiers).  
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps  
with the door closed. The closed door may prevent an  
alarm not located in that room from waking the sleeper.  
• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the  
ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke  
alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it  
closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is  
preferred in ordinary residential construction.  
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a  
minimum of 10 cm (4") from the side wall (Image 2A).  
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside  
wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10  
cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the  
ceiling (Image 2A).  
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway  
or large room if the hallway or room is more than 9.1 m  
(30') long.  
• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully  
to avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling.

Locations to Avoid  
• Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The  
door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or  
shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or  
cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or  
other high air-flow areas.  
• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects  
will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the  
sensor to accurately detect conditions.  
• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame  
ceilings or gabled roofs. (Less than 10 cm (4") from the  
peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.)  
• Install at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent  
lights as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.  
• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively  
dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust particles may cause  
nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.  
• Extreme temperatures may effect the sensitivity of the  
alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is  
colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F),  
such as garages and unfinished attics.  
• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH)  
is greater than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or  
steam, can cause nuisance alarms.  
• Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms in kitchen areas.  
Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a  
kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence  
feature or be a photoelectric type.  
• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are  
present when you start your automobile.  
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards  
unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been  
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Installation  
Mobile Homes  
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be  
energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended in  
Recommended Locations and Image 2A.  
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to  
present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred  
from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated  
walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier that can  
prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on  
the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarm on an  
inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum  
of 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the  
ceiling (Image 2A).  
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile  
home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are  
either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For  
minimum protection, install at least one alarm close to the  
bedrooms. For additional protection, see Image 1A.  
WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or mobile  
home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least  
once a week during use.  
Mounting  
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!  
CAUTION: When wall mounting, the unit must be mounted so  
that battery door faces down! (Image 3C) Incorrect orientation  
of wall mounted smoke alarms will decrease operational  
effectiveness.  
• After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as  
described previously, hold the mounting plate against  
the selected installation location (wall or ceiling) and  
mark the center of the holes with a pencil. To ensure  
aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hall-way, or  
wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be  
parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or  
horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A and 3B).  
Drill a hole through the pencil marks and use the  
enclosed screws and anchors to secure. Use 3/16” drill  
for anchor holes. Align the alarm with the mounting  
plate and rotate clockwise (right) until the unit is aligned.

Installation  
• Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the  
alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover  
until the alarm ratchets into place (Image 3D). This  
ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment.  
Note: The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in  
4 positions (every 90 degrees). When wall mounting, make  
sure the battery door is at the bottom of the unit (Image 3C).  
Battery  
This unit will not function without a properly installed  
battery, and is equipped with a battery lockout feature  
which prevents the battery door from closing if a battery is  
not installed correctly. See Maintenance section for  
additional information concerning battery installation.  
• For initial installation a pre-installed 9 V battery is  
included with a battery pull tab that allows for easy  
connection. Simply pull the tab out, and the battery is  
connected! See Maintenance for additional information  
concerning battery installation.  
• Pull the Battery Pull Tab (yellow tab protruding from  
the unit) completely out of the unit. This will  
automatically connect the battery.  
Operation  
Testing  
• Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the  
Test button.  
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always  
stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.  
The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed  
and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization  
sensor chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will  
sound a loud (85db) alarm until the sensing chamber is  
cleared of smoke particles.

Operation  
®
Hush Control Feature  
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.  
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless  
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion  
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is  
located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of  
combustible particles are generated from spills or when  
broiling. Using the fan on a range hood that vents to the  
outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove  
®
these combustible particles from the kitchen. The Hush  
button is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas  
prone to nuisance alarms.  
®
The Hush feature has the capability of temporarily  
desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for about 7 minutes.  
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm  
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the  
alarm.  
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is  
discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire  
is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in  
Locations to Avoid may have caused the alarm.  
®
The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the Hush  
button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too  
dense, the alarm will silence immediately andchirpevery  
30-40 seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indicates  
that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition.  
The smoke alarm will automatically reset after  
approximately 7 minutes. If after this period particles of  
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.  
®
The Hush feature can be used repeatedly until the air has  
been cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing  
®
the Test button on the alarm will end the Hush period.  
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush® control feature and  
sound a continuous alarm.  
CAUTION: Before using the alarm Hush® feature, identify the  
source of the smoke and be certain a safe condition exists.

Operation  
LED Indicators  
This alarm is equipped with a red LED indicator, with two  
modes of operation.  
Red LED - Flashing every 30-40 seconds:Indicates that the  
smoke alarm is operating properly.  
Red LED - Flashing: When the smoke alarm senses particles  
of combustion and goes into alarm (constant pulsating sound),  
the red LED will flash once per second. The flashing LED  
and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.

BATTERY TAMPER RESIST SWITCH  
NOTE: Before activating the battery tamper resist feature,  
make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that  
the battery door is properly closed. If the battery tamper  
resist feature is activated while the battery door is open,  
the battery door will not close and the unit will be  
inoperable.  
To deactivate the battery tamper resist, in order to change  
the battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate and  
locate the small cut-out in the middle of the product label.  
Using a screwdriver or similar tool, slide the switch in the  
OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE ARROWS. The battery

Maintenance  
Testing  
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always  
stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.  
Test by pushing the Test button on the cover and hold it  
down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the  
alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are  
working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has a defective  
battery or some other failure. DO NOT use an open flame  
to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite  
combustible materials and start a fire.  
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic  
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a  
defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see  
Warranty section).

Maintenance  
Cleaning the Alarm  
The alarm should be cleaned at least once a year.  
• To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting plate  
as outlined in previous sections. You can clean the  
alarm by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner  
hose with a soft brush attachment. Blow or vacuum  
around the perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and  
dirt. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a  
damp cloth (do not use a wet cloth to avoid water  
entering the unit).  
• After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm  
by using the Test button. If cleaning does not restore  
the alarm to normal operation, the alarm should be  
replaced.  
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and  
interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke. Never  
attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This  
action will void your warranty.  
Replacing the Alarm  
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Kidde  
recommend replacing this alarm ten years from the date  
code label (located on the back of the alarm).

Fire Safety  
WARNING: Please read carefully and thoroughly.  
• NFPA Standard 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential  
occupancies is based primarily on early notification to  
occupants of the need to escape, followed by the  
appropriate egress actions by those occupants. Fire  
warning systems for dwelling units are capable of  
protecting about half of the occupants in potentially  
fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too  
old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such  
that they cannot escape even when warned early  
enough that escape should be possible. For these  
people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or  
assisted escape or rescue are necessary.  
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early  
warning of possible fires at a reasonable cost; however,  
alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization sensing  
alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated  
with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.  
Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire  
particles (associated with slow smouldering fires) sooner  
than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in different  
ways and are often unpredictable. Neither type of alarm  
(photoelectric or ionization) is always best, and a given  
alarm may not always provide warning of a fire.  
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the  
specified type, in good condition and installed properly.  
• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not  
operate if the AC power has been cut off, such as by an  
electrical fire or an open fuse.  
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the  
batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating  
condition.  
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does  
not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not  
sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the  
other side of a closed door or on a different floor.  
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a  
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.  
Do1w7nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download  
Fire Safety  
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s  
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum  
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each  
sleeping area on every level of a home.  
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by  
providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a  
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners,  
landlords and tenants should have adequate insurance  
to protect their lives and property.  
Good Safety Habits  
Develop and practice a plan of escape!  
• 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.  
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and  
at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second  
story windows may need an escape ladder.  
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,  
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.  
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can  
meet if a fire occurs.  
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm  
and train them to leave your home when they hear it.  
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire  
drills at night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm  
and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in 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.  
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken  
all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of  
individuals in the household that are capable of assisting  
others 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.

Fire Safety  
Alarm Exit Procedure  
• Alert small children in the home.  
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second  
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking  
up valuables.  
• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first  
feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping  
through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your  
alternate exit. If 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.  
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. If possible do  
not breathe too deeply to avoid smoke inhalation.  
Breathe through a cloth (preferably wet) if possible.  
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and  
make sure everyone is there.  
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home -  
not from yours!  
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that  
it is all right to do so.  
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be  
effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA  
Standard 72. For instance:  
- smoking in bed;  
- leaving children unsupervised;  
- cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.  
NRC Information  
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of  
a radioactive element in the sensing chamber to enable  
detection of visible and invisible combustion products. The  
radioactive element is safely contained in the chamber and  
requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke alarm  
meets or exceeds all government standards. It is  
manufactured and distributed under license from the U.S.  
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Fire Safety  
Additional Recommendations  
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72  
provides the following information:  
Smoke Detection. Where required by applicable laws,  
codes, or standards for the specified occupancy, approved  
single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be  
installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping rooms Exception:  
Smoke alarms shall not be required in sleeping rooms in  
existing one- and two-family dwelling units. (2) Outside  
of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of  
the sleeping rooms. (3) On each level of the dwelling  
unit, including basements Exception: In existing one- and  
two-family dwelling units, approved smoke alarms  
powered by batteries are permitted.  
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?  
Required number of smoke alarms (as shown in Image 1A  
and Image 1B): The required number of smoke alarms  
might not provide reliable early warning protection for  
those areas separated by a door from the areas protected  
by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is  
recommended that the householder consider the use of  
additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased  
protection.  
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms,  
dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not  
protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation  
of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or  
unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as  
these locations occasionally experience conditions that  
can result in improper operation.  
Alarms should be installed in accordance with the  
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA,  
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).  
Notify your local fire department and insurance company  
of your smoke alarm installation.
