If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning
you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your
immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the
alarm may result in injury or death.
Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO
Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke,
etc.). Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense
smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window
or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset
automatically.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

Dont panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.
Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Dont stop to get
dressed or collect anything.
Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.
If a door is cool, open it slowly. Dont open a hot door. Keep doors
and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).
Take short, shallow breaths.
Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and
do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

Alarms have various limitations. See General Limitations of
Smoke/CO Alarms for details.
USING THE SILENCE FEATURES
SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning chirp
for up to 8 hours. You can silence the low battery warning chirp by
pressing the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover.
Once the low battery warning chirp silence feature is activated, the unit
continues to flash the Green light twice a minute for 8 hours. After 8
hours, the low battery chirp will resume. Replace the batteries as
soon as possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!
To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again.
The unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume
(LED flashes and unit sounds chirp once a minute).

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL
SYM
This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning chirp
for up to 2 days. You can silence the End of Life warning chirp by
pressing the Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging
that the End of Life silence feature has been activated.
After approximately 2 days, the End of Life chirp will resume.
LATCHING FEATURES
Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of

smoke or carbon monoxide. After smoke or CO levels drop below alarm
levels, the Smoke/Power LED and/or the CO Red LED will begin
to flash On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds. It will continue to flash or
latch for about 15 minutes, to give you time to determine which unit
initiated the alarm.
Low Battery Latch is activated when the Alarm is in the low battery
condition. When this occurs, the Smoke/Power LED flashes Green
On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds for about 15 minutes. This feature
is designed to help you identify which Alarm needs to have the
battery replaced. Although, the Alarm will sound the low battery chirp
approximately once every minute, sometimes during the initial stages of
low battery, the Alarm will chirp in greater intervals than one minute,
sometimes up to several hours, until the battery reaches a steady low
battery level. This innovative feature eliminates the frustration of waiting
for and/or identifying which unit is chirping.
WEEKLY TESTING
Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing

the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.
NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You
might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your
home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the units
operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent
damage and voids your warranty.
The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while

you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature
in emergency situations. It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish
a fire.
The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several
minutes. You can silence this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the Test/
Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.
After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the
silence mode.
When the Smoke Alarm
is Silenced
When the CO Alarm

is Silenced
The Smoke Alarm will remain

silent for up to 15 minutes, then
return to normal operation.
The CO Alarm will remain silent

for up to 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, if CO levels
remain potentially dangerous the
horn will start sounding again.
If the smoke has not clearedor

continues to increasethe device
will go back into alarm.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding.

Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.
It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working
properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test this
Smoke/CO Alarm.
You can test this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing and holding the Test/
Silence button on the Alarm cover until Alarm Voice says Testing
(typically 3-5 seconds).
During testing, you will see and hear the following sequence:
The Alarm Voice will say Testing. The Horn will sound 3 beeps,
pause, 3 beeps. The Alarm Voice will say Warning, evacuate
smoke in [Location, example: Kitchen]. Evacuate. The Power/
Smoke LED flashes Red and the CO LED will be Off.
Next the Horn will sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The Alarm
Voice will say Warning, evacuate carbon monoxide in [Location,
example: Kitchen]. Evacuate. The Power/Smoke LED will be
Off and the CO LED flashes Red.
If the unit does not alarm, make sure the batteries are correctly installed,
and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
6
WH
This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but

there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

may be present. Keep the blower door on the furnace closed.
Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning
appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do
not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.
Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft
hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks
on furnace heat exchangers.
Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.
Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO
is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening
windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.
In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read
this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to
do if your CO Alarm sounds.

CONSIDERATIONS
This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums,
townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding
houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection
system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common
areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in
common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or

care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any
kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems
in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and specialpurpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection
and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this
Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these
facilities.
In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/
DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing
construction, AC, AC/

DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local
building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling
Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or
consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in
buildings not defined as households.
HUD MAP Program
Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially
those that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated
Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This
alarm does not meet that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.

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 residents (CO Alarms are not yet available
for the hearing impaired).
Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape
plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved from
kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and
practice before 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 infants or family members with mobility limitations,
make sure that someone is assigned 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 order to determine their response
to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine
whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.
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 batteries 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.

C/
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 (3 meters). 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 immediately. 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 reliable 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 operating properly. All Smoke/CO
Alarms need to be replaced every 7 years. All Smoke Alarms need to
be replaced every 10 years.
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.
