1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds
   The smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating. The red LED blinks in time with the alarm pattern.

The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
• While 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.
• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the floor where the air is cleaner. Crawl if necessary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbour’s home-not from yours!
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps with voice “Warning! Carbon Monoxide” repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED blinks in time with the alarm pattern. On DC power only, after 4 mins, the alarm pattern and voice will only occur every 60 sec.

WARNING: ACTUATION OF THIS DEVICE INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN KILL YOU. IF ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO FRESH AIR – OUTDOORS OR BY AN OPEN DOOR/WINDOW. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT RE-ENTER THE PREMISES OR MOVE AWAY FROM THE OPEN DOOR/WINDOW UNTIL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES RESPONDERS HAVE ARRIVED, THE PREMISES HAVE BEEN AIRED OUT, AND YOUR ALARM REMAINS IN ITS NORMAL CONDITION.
2. CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE (FIRE DEPARTMENT OR 911)
   • PHONE NUMBER ———-
   • NEVER RESTART THE SOURCE OF A CO PROBLEM UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CORRECTED. NEVER IGNORE THE ACTIVATION OF THE ALARM!

Limitations of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

_ WARNING: _PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• 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. A smoke alarm may not be effective in some situations, such as during incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly located smoke alarms, or when victims are intimate with the fire (for example, when a person’s clothes catch fire while cooking), 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, additional strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary. *

• imum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. 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 smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed properly (this
  model has a sealed backup battery).

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the battery 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, within 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.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For optimal detection, a smoke
  alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in CAN/ULC-S552, Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maxCAN/ULC-S553, and the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:

  • a) smoking in bed
  • b) leaving children home alone
  • c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals. Reference National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 72

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas.
  CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been fixed.

NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM!

WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with comm erica l or industrial l standards. It is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations as defined in th e LO CAL BUILDS ING CODE. It is not desig ned for us e in a recreati onal vehic le (RV) or boat.

• The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
• This alarm does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve any existing CO problem.

WARNING : THIS DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. INDIVIDUALS WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS MAY CONSIDER USING WARNING DEVICES WHICH PROVIDE AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNALS FOR CARBON MONOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS UNDER 30 PPM.

• This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 70 PPM.
• This combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requires a continuous supply of electrical power – it will not work without power.

Recommended Locations For Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Alarms

• Locate smoke alarms in all sleeping areas. 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.
• Locate additional alarms in stairways, because stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• 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 alarmnot 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.

CAN/ULC-S553 and NFPA 72 state: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 ft in 8 ft) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” (See Figures 7-C)

SINGLE FLOOR PLAN

MULTIPLE FLOOR PLAN

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling.
• For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION section.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) from the side wall (Figure 7-A).
• 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 (Figure 7-A).
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 9.1m (30 ft) long.
• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at least 0.9m (3ft) from the highest point (measured horizontally). See Figure 7.C.
• Industry experts recommend a CO alarm be installed on each level of the home-ideally on any level with fuel burning appliances and outside of sleeping areas.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with (1) C22.1-12, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations; and (2) CAN/ULC-S553, Standard for Installation of Smoke Alarms.

Mobile Home Installation
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above. In older 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 which 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.
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 compared to the room air temperature, install the alarm on an inside wall. CAN/ULC-S553 and NFPA 72 require smoke alarms be installed in or near each sleeping area.

WARNING: TEST YOUR ALARM OPERATION AFTER MOBILE HOME HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR UNOC- CUPIED, AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

Locations to Avoid

(See Figures 7-A, 7-B, & 7-C for recommended locations)

• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.
• 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 install within 1.8m (6 ft). of heating or cooking appliances.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 4.4 ºC (40 ºF) or rise above 37.8 ºC (100ºF), such as garages and unfinished attics.
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarms or a failure to alarm.
• In very humid areas (above 95% RH, non-condensing), as moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms..
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 0.9m (3 ft) of the door to a bathroom containing 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.
• Near lights. Electronic “noise” generated by the electronics may cause nuisance alarms.
• Do not install near vents, flues or chimneys.
• Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.

Wiring Instructions and Mounting Bracket Installation

For best Wi-Fi enrollment results, follow these steps:

1. Scan QR code shown in STEP 1 on the front of the Quick Start Guide. Install the Kidde app.
2. Open the Kidde app. Create and login to your account. Tap “Add a device.” Select “ Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Indoor Air Quality Monitor.” Follow in-app steps.
3. Scan your unique QR code, shown in STEP 3 of the Quick Start Guide, or on back of your alarm. Setup and connect alarm to the app. This will include the wiring and installation steps shown in sections 9, 10, and 11.
4. Complete setup by following in-app steps.

NOTE: Wi-Fi features do not function without AC power. Wiring Requirements

• This alarm should be installed on a CSA-Listed or recognized junction box. All connections should be made by a qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with codes having jurisdiction in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.

• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase, supplied from a non-switchable circuit.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and detector guard) has been
  evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

• Kidde alarms are not designed, agency tested or certified for recessed mounting and should not be installed in this manner. Recessed mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber, which may prevent the alarm from sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are designed, tested and certified for wall (if applicable) and ceiling surface mount only. Without agency research, we have no fire test data to support that alarms will perform as required when installed in a recessed manner. Accord-ingly, we do not recommend, approve or advise mounting Kidde alarms in recessed configurations.

WARNING: THE ALARM CANNOT BE OPERATED FROM POWER DERIVED FROM A SQUARE WAVE, MODIFIED SQUARE WAVE OR MODIFIED SINE WAVE, INVERTER. THESE TYPES OF INVERTERS ARE SOME- TIMES USED TO SUPPLY POWER TO THE STRUCTURE IN OFF GRID INSTALLATIONS, SUCH AS SOLAR OR WIND DERIVED POWER SOURCES. THESE POWER SOURCES PRODUCE HIGH PEAK VOLTAGES THAT WILL DAMAGE THE ALARM

Wiring Instructions for AC Quick Connect Harness

CAUTION: Turn off the main power to the circuit before wiring the AC Quick Connect Harness.

• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANYTHING. Leave the red wire insulating cap in place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.

NOTE: Single station alarms (including this Wi-Fi model, if used as a single station alarm) CANNOT send or receive smoke or CO alarm signals to other hardwire interconnect alarms in your home. If this model is used as a single station alarm, it will send notifications ONLY to your mobile device (after the Wi-Fi alarm is registered with the Kidde app).

• When alarms are hardwire interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered from a single circuit.
• A maximum of 24 Kidde Safety devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The intercon- nect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, CO, Smoke/ CO Combination, heat, etc.). With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and / or relay modules.
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system is 305 m (1000 ft).
• Figure 9-A illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power line.

NOTE : Use agency approved household wire (as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.

• For best results to minimize nuisance alarms, interconnected alarms should be on a dedicated line. If not on a dedi- cated line, it is suggested that the smoke alarms share a lighting load circuit that does not have a dimmer associated with it. If receptacles must be placed on the same line it is suggested that they be placed ahead of the smoke alarms (see Figure 9-C). This will prevent large voltage drops from occurring between the first and last alarm in the circuit.

FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER

NOTE : AC power should be turned off at this stage.

• After selecting the proper location for your Alarm, and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the mounting bracket to the electrical box. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hall-way, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket should be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted (See Figure 9-D).
• Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the mounting bracket and secure the bracket, making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening the screws.
• Proceed to Section 10 for Kidde App Instructions.

If you are installing for Wi-Fi functionality, and have not yet downloaded the Kidde App, do not connect your Wi-Fi unit to the AC quick connect harness or mounting bracket yet. See Section 10 for instructions on downloading the Kidde App. If you are not using the Wi-Fi function, then proceed with the following three steps.

• Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the wiring harness attached to the unit, making sure that the locks on the connector snap into place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). NOTE: Installing the alarm on the mounting bracket will automatically activate the battery backup.
• Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

NOTE: Wi-Fi units will emit a series of LED blinks, tones, and voices as the unit(s) search for a Wi-Fi alarm network. If you are intending to use Wi- Fi units without the Wi-Fi function, ignore these notifications, and the Wi-Fi function will turn off in about 15 minutes, or you can push/hold the button until you hear two beeps (about four seconds), to exit Wi-Fi enrollment mode. You can turn the Wi-Fi function on again at a later date if desired. See Section 11.3 .

NOTE: Attaching AC power first, without rotating the alarm onto the mounting bracket, will result in a false low battery trouble condition chirp (see Troubleshooting Guide). You need to activate the battery to elimi-nate the low battery trouble condition chirps. Attach unit to mounting bracket very soon after applying AC power to avoid false low battery notification.

NOTE: The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can only be discharged at the end of unit life. If the alarm is removed from the mounting bracket, the backup battery will remain active. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section. The alarm is now activated! After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing section.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THIS ALARM AND WILL PREVENT ITS RESPONSE TO FIRE HAZARDS.

Interconnect Capability
This model has AC hardwire interconnect capability. When one hardwire interconnect unit sounds an alarm, all other compatible hardwire interconnected units will also alarm. NOTE: AC wiring must be completed properly and the AC quick connector must be attached to the unit for the hardwire interconnect function to work.

Operation and Testing

Operation
The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete. When products of combustion (smoke or CO) are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm with voice messages. (See Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions). In high levels of CO, the unit will go into alarm in a shorter period of time than at low levels of CO.

CO ALARM SENSOR RESPONSE TIMES
At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes. At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes. At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes.

Language Selection
This unit operates in either English or French. To switch your language preference at any time, press the button twice on ALL devices you wish to connect. You should hear one beep for each button press, followed by a voice message confirming your language selection (“English language selected” or “Langue française selectionné”). If no language is selected, the voice prompts will continue in the default / set language.

Indoor Air Quality
This device is designed to monitor levels of temperature, relative humidity and total volatile organic compounds
(TVOC) – chemicals in the air that can impact your health. Visit www.epa.org for more information on VOCs. Relative Humidity % (RH) refers to the percentage of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. Ideal RH for living con-ditions is usually recommended at 30% – 60%. The parameters listed below are based on a typical average, climate controlled residence. When conditions in the residence move outside of the limits shown in the table, an alert is sent to your mobile device. You can also check the status of your indoor air quality using the Kidde app, after your alarm is registered with the app.

Very Bad| 0-19 or 70-100| >2500| >33.3 oC(92 oF) or <8.9 oC(48 oF)

• It’s helpful to understand the difference between temporary high readings and persistent high readings. A one-time event might create a temporarily high reading but is not a cause for concern in the long term.
• However, if you consistently get high levels of poor indoor air quality in a room, then you should take steps to improve ventilation or air circulation in the area of the device. Please refer to the threshold ranges in the app to know what readings are considered high.
• It is important when comparing readings between different devices that the comparison is truly under the same conditions. TVOC concentrations can vary throughout the home, so the placement of the devices in the house can have an impact on their readings. If the devices are not right beside each other, or one of the devices is closer to a vent or fan, this could impact the difference.

Testing
IMPORTANT : Retail canned smoke products vary by manufacturer and produce inconsistent results. If the unit does not alarm when canned smoke is applied conduct a push-to-test to verify proper operation.Over-application of canned smoke can permanently damage the alarm.

• Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed followed by voice prompts that will inform you of the upcoming test sequence. See Other
• Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm and voice (and any interconnected units) will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, speaker, and battery are working. If the alarm or voice does not sound, or gives erratic or low volume sound, the unit must be replaced. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section to determine how to prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.
• NOTE: If you push the test button on your alarm, the app will send you a text message. However, if you conduct a remote test using the app, you will not receive a text message.
• WARNING: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS STAND ABOUT 0.7 M (2.5 FT) AWAY FROM THE UNIT OR USE EAR PROTECTION WHEN TESTING.
• WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST YOUR ALARM, YOU COULD DAMAGE THE ALARM OR IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND START A STRUCTURE FIRE.

Ambient light Sensina

In low light ambient conditions, the green LED ring fades to off, and then blinks approx every 60 seconds. This unit samples the ambient light conditions of the alarm’s location and, if possible, determines a Night / Day cycle. A valid Night / Day cycle will delay unit chirps during the night until the next Day cycle begins.

POSSIBLE CHIRPING REASONS
End of Unit Life: will be suppressed at night Network Error: will be suppressed at night Low battery: will be suppressed at night

Chirping

• When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Unit Life or Network Error chirps by pressing the button. Low Battery chirps cannot be silenced.
• If a valid Night / Day cycle has not been established because the unit is located in either a constantly dark or lighted location, the chirps mentioned above will not be delayed at night. Moving the unit to a different location might allow the unit to determine a valid Night / Day cycle.

WARNING: REPLACE UNIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN IN END OF UNIT LIFE OR LOW BATTERY MODE.

Recognizing Nuisance Alarms

Smoke Nuisance
SMART HUSH®: If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verify that it is not a life threatening situation, you can push the button on the initiating unit (green LED flashing every second) to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. If the smoke is not too dense, that unit, and all interconnected units will silence. After the Smart Hush® period, the smoke alarm will automatically reset and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. You can use Smart Hush® repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

NOTE: Dense smoke will override Smart Hush® and sound a continuous alarm. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in “Locations to avoid” may have caused the alarm. If a fire is discov-ered, get out and call the fire department or 911. This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non- recirculating type) will also help prevent nuisance alarms from occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance
RESET: Pushing the button during CO alarm allows the unit to reset calculations and double check for the presence of CO. If the unit re-alarms within 6 minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situa-tion. Move to fresh air and call 911.

WARNING: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF A CO ALARM USING SIGHT OR SMELL. ALWAYS CONSIDER A CO ALARM EVENT AS DANGEROUS.

Battery Backup

This alarm is powered with AC power, but also contains a sealed lithium battery backup system. No bat-tery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm.

• NOTE: AC power must be connected to obtain the full 10 year battery and unit life. Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures may reduce battery life.
• NOTE: If AC power is lost, Wi-Fi features (including Indoor Air Quality) will not function, but the backup battery will still provide smoke and CO detection.
• WARNING: NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INCLUDED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR ANY REASON! DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE ALARM YOURSELF.

Low Battery
This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point where it can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition will occur. See Troubleshooting Guide. The unit must be replaced within 7 days of the first occurrence of the “Low Battery Warning” to provide continuous alarm detection.

CAUTION: THE BATTERY USED IN THIS DEVICE MAY PRESENT A FIRE OR CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD IF MISTREATED. DO NOT RECHARGE, DISASSEMBLE, HEAT ABOVE 100°C (212°F) OR DISPOSE OF IN FIRE.

Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery

WARNING: FAILURE TO DISCHARGE ALARM BATTERY AS INSTRUCTED PRIOR TO DISPOSAL MAY CREATE POTENTIAL FOR LITHIUM BATTERY RELATED FIRE OR HAZARD.

• DISCHARGING THE ALARM BATTERY IS PERMANENT.
• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, it cannot be reactivated!
• Once discharged, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT SMOKE OR CO OR INDOOR AIR QUALITY.
• Once the alarm battery is discharged, the battery is depleted and the alarm will no longer function.
• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, the alarm cannot be mounted onto the mounting bracket or reactivated.

General Carbon Monoxide (CO) Information

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.

Possible Sources of CO
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO. CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel: gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel- burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not ventilated correctly, such as: Furnaces/boilers, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters. Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafting and changes in air pressure, corroded or disconnected vent pipes, or a loose or cracked furnace heat exchanger can also release CO into your building. Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an attached garage and using a charcoal/gas grill or hibachi in an enclosed area are all possible sources of CO.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions such as: Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles), negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans, simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air, vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces/boilers, or water heaters, obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations, extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.), temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground, car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

CO Safety Tips
Every year, have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected and cleaned by a qualified technician. Always install appliances according to manufacturer’s instructions and adhere to local building codes. Most appliances should be installed by professionals and inspected after installation. Regularly examine vents and chimneys for improper connec-tions, visible rust, or stains, and check for cracks in furnace heat exchangers. Verify that the color of flame is blue on pilot lights and burners. An amber or orange flame is a sign that the fuel is not burning completely and may be releasing CO. Teach all household members what the alarm sounds like and how to respond. Fire Departments, most utility companies and HVAC contractors will perform CO inspections. Some contractors may charge for this service. It’s advisable to inquire about any applicable fees prior to having the service performed. Kidde will not pay for, or reimburse the owner or user of this product, for any repair or dispatch calls related to the alarm sounding.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning
Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever and can include dizziness, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorientation. Everyone is susceptible but experts agree that unborn babies, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are especially vulnerable. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are experienced seek medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be determined by a carboxy-hemoglobin test.

The following symptoms might be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:

1. MILD EXPOSURE: HEADACHES, FATIGUE, DROWSINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, “FLU”-LIKE SYMPTOMS (WITH-OUT FEVER), AND IMPAIRED MOTOR FUNCTIONS (LIKE DIFFICULTY WALKING OR PROBLEMS WITH BALANCE).
2. MEDIUM EXPOSURE: DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND VOMITING, CHEST PAIN, POOR VISION, DIFFICULTY THINKING.
3. EXTREME EXPOSURE: LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, CONVULSIONS, COMA, AND DEATH.
   The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities.
   When flu-like symptoms with fever are experienced, ensure that the possibility of CO poisoning is not automatically ruled out. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of each level is important.

Cleaning Your Alarm

Your Alarm Should be Cleaned at Least Once a Year
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blow-ing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to dampen the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the alarm.
If the alarm is in Fault mode and the Red LED is blinking a fault code of 10 or 14 flashes (after a button push), the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning, press the button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs to be replaced.

• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke, CO, and Indoor Air Quality.
• Never attempt to disassemble the unit to clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
• The following substances can affect the CO sensor and may cause false readings and damage to the sensor: Methane, propane, isobutane, iso-propanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, aftershave, perfume, and some cleaning agents.
• Move the Alarm and place in 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. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated.

WARNING: REINSTALL THE ALARM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE CONTINUOUS DETECTION.

Good Safety Habits

Develop and Practice a Plan of Escape Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at night. Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the resi-dence. When two people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to call 911 while the second person stays to account for additional family members. Establish a rule that once you’re out, you never re-enter under any circumstance!

• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire and where to meet after they leave the house.
• 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.
• Familiarize everyone with the sounds of the smoke/CO alarm and train them to leave your home when they hear it. • Current studies have shown smoke/CO alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibili-ty 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.
• • 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.

Fire Prevention
Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended. Teach children never to play with matches or lighters! Train ev-eryone in the home to recognize the smoke alarm pattern and to leave the home using their escape plan when it’s heard. Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire, and how to crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage.

Fire Safety in the Home
CAN/ULC-S553 and NFPA 72 are intended to provide reasonable safety for persons in family living units. Reasonable fire safety can be produced through the following three-point program: (1) Minimizing fire hazards (2) Providing fire- warning equipment (3) Having and practicing an escape plan.

Smoke Detection – Are More Alarms Desirable?
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 recom-mended that the resident 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 smoke alarms in attics (finished or unfinished), garages, or within 1.8 m (6 ft) of a heating or cooking appliance is not normally recommended, as these locations occasion-ally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. *

Per CAN/ULC-S553 and NFPA 72: Where required by other governing laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single and multiple- station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

1. In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms
2. Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a sleep-ing room, with the distance measured along a path of travel
3. On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements
4. On every level of a residential board and care oc-cupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics
5. In the living area(s) of a guest suite
6. In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility)
