Use only the following 9 volt batteries for powering the safety light: Alkaline Type Energizer 522 Duracell MN1604 or MX1604 Gold Peak 1604A Panasonic 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI, 6AM6X and 6LR61 (GA) The safety light has a 6.3 V 250mA fuse lamp with an average life of 50 hours. If the safety light fails to operate with a fresh alkaline battery, then replace the lamp. To replace the lamp, remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover (See Figure 7, and Alarm Tamper Resist Feature section if this feature has been activated). Open the battery door and remove both batteries from the unit. Grip the lamp holder handle with your thumb and finger and pull out the lamp holder assembly. Slide the old lamp out of the lamp holder and replace it with a new lamp. Replace with the correct lamp type: Vanco #FTB 6 which is available at most radio/tv repair stores. Reinstall the lamp holder. It will snap easily into the base. Put working batteries back in the alarm and remount the alarm on its mounting bracket. CAUTION: Use only the lamp specified. Use of a different lamp may have a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm or the safety light operation. NOTE: The safety light is not intended to satisfy the requirements for approved illumination under various local codes. Very thick and/or dense smoke may obscure the light. 7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too 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 would be 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 smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed. • 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. 7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms 8. Good Safety Habits 7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms 8. Good Safety Habits • If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room 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 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 and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their lives and property. 8. Good Safety Habits DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE • 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. • 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 ho...
