manual abstract
Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything. • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door—use an alternate escape route. • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably wet). Take short, shallow breaths. • Keep doors and windows closed, unless you need to escape through them. • Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely. • Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name. • Never go back inside a burning building for any reason. Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer and on creating your own family escape plan. Cover Models 2002 IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE INSTALLING SMOKE ALARM Read “Where To Install Smoke Alarms” and “Where Not To Install Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and located where smoke can reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires. 1 Test button 2 Power indicator light 3 Sensing chamber opening 1 Mounting bracket 2 Raised “dome” in bracket center 3 Plastic screw anchors 4 Break-off tamper-resistant tab 5 Mounting screw and slot (1 of 2) 6 Mounting post 7 Install 9V battery here 8 “Missing battery” guard 9 Turn this way to remove from bracket 10 Turn this way to attach to bracket WARNING! • This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you install special units which use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired residents. • Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly. CAUTION! • Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes. • Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hearing. When testing the unit, step back when the horn starts sounding. • Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the the unit from operating properly. 3 To install this smoke alarm, follow these steps: This unit is designed to be mounted on the ceiling, or on the wall if necessary. Tools you will need: • Pencil • Drill with 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit • Standard/Flathead screwdriver • Hammer • Pliers (to activate optional “tamper-resistant” feature) 1. Hold base firmly and twist the metal mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the base. 2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) and trace around the inside of the mounting slots. 3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes. 4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced. 5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall. 6. OPTIONAL: To make the smoke alarm “ tamper-resistant” Making the unit “tamper-resistant” makes it more difficult to remove it from the mounting bracket, and prevents easy battery removal. Using pliers, break off the flanged end of the “tamper-resistant” tab along the score line. 7. Fasten the mounting bracket to the ceiling (or wall) using the two screws provided. Make sure the dome faces out towards you. Tighten both screws all the way. 8. Activate the battery before you attach the smoke alarm to the mounting bracket! Remove and reposition the battery so the terminals on the battery match the terminals in the battery compartment. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Make sure the battery snaps in completely, and cannot be shaken loose, or the alarm cannot receive battery power. It is normal for the unit to beep briefly when you install the battery. NOTE: After you install the battery, the power indicator light will blink once about every 45 seconds. If the unit alarms, the light will blink rapidly, once every second. 9. Test the smoke alarm. See “Weekly Testing.” 5 4 7 8 2 6 10 3 1 9 10. Attach the smoke alarm to the bracket.
