FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking

materials properly.Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away

from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep

electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical

circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease-

and debris-free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended;

7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from

flammable materials; 8) Don’tlet rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if

they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert

you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and

an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable

means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs areblocked.

All BRK®Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements,

including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally moresensitive than photoelectric

technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced

in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible

materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include

paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization

technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced

in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for

hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include

cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each

level and in every bedroom of your home.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

IMPORTANT! Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms”

and “Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit

monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms.

Itcan 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.

Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms

Battery powered or electrical? Different Smoke Alarms provide

different types of protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms

Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one Smoke Alarm on every

level of your home, in every bedroom, and in every bedroom hallway or

separate sleeping area. See “Recommended Locations For Smoke

Alarms” and “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do

ASmoke Alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to

escape. It can only sound an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor.

See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

Check Your Local Building Codes

This Smoke Alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family

home. It alone will not meet requirements for boarding houses,

apartment buildings, hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance

Considerations” for details.

• This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recom-

mended 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 that cannot be linked to other devices.

Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working

properly.

•Unit will not operate without battery power. The Smoke Alarm

cannot work until you install the battery in the correct position

(Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”).

•This Smoke Alarm has a battery guard which prevents it from

closing unless a battery is installed. This warns you the unit will

not operate without a battery.

• Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents

around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the

sensing chambers 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.

Itis loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure to the horn at

close range may harm your hearing.

•

Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the

sensing chambers and prevent the unit from operating properly.

WEEKLY TESTING

•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 unit’s operation as

required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).

•If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.

Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer

for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” for details.

DONOT 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.

Itis 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 Alarm. Press and hold the test button on the cover of the unit until

the alarm sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after

you release the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving

power and test it again. If it still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

During testing you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause,

3beeps, pause; and the Red LED will flash rapidly.

IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern:

3beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause; and the Red LED will flash rapidly.

•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 Alarm

to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarmso 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.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

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.

Use only the replacement batteries listed below. The unit may not

operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable

batteries since they may not provide a constant charge.

• Test it at least once a week.

•Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the

outside of the Smoke Alarm using your household vacuum’ssoft

brush attachment. Test the Smoke Alarm. Never use water, cleaners

or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust

and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms,

replace the unit immediately.

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See

“Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” for details.

•When the battery becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm unit will “chirp”

about once a minute (the low battery warning). This low battery warning

should last 7 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to

continue your protection. Note: If locking pin is engaged see "Locking

Feature" section for unlocking instructions.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following

batteries areacceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra)

#MX1604; Eveready (Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery

like the Ultralife U9VL-J for longer service life between battery changes.

These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

Actual service life depends on the Smoke Alarm and the environment

in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable

replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s

suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once

the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke

Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new

construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC poweredand interconnected.

See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for details. For additional

coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms,

halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, wheretemperatures

normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚C) and 100˚ F (38˚C). Make sure no door

or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly

or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple

sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet

long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway,and at bottom of the

basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to

state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department

for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC

units be interconnected for added protection.

INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN MOBILE HOMES & RVS

For minimum security install one Smoke Alarm as close to each sleeping

area as possible. For moresecurity,put one unit in each room. Many

older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no

insulation. If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure

of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls

only.Smoke Alarms should be installed wheretemperatures normally

remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C). WARNING: Test units

used in RVs after the vehicle has been in storage, before every trip,

and once a week while in use. Failure to test units used in RVs as

described may remove your protection.

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM

Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or

weak batteries, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm

cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as

described in “Regular Maintenance,” and install a fresh battery, then test

the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test

button, or if the problem persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.

• If you hear a “chirp” once a minute, replace the battery.

•If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those

caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.

•If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or

relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty.

•If the alarm does not sound during testing, try installing a new

battery, and make sure it is snapped in securely.

Ifthe Smoke Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under

warranty, please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” below.

Donot try fixing the alarm yourself – this will void your warranty!

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t 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. Don’t 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. Continued...

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE, Continued

•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.

Alarms have various limitations. See "Limitations of Smoke Alarms"

for details.
