5. Important Safety Information

• The test button accurately tests smoke alarm functions.
Do not use any other test method. Test smoke alarm
weekly to ensure proper operation.
• Do not remove or disconnect battery. This will take out
your protection. Open windows or fan the air around
smoke alarm for silence it.
• This smoke alarm should be installed only by a licensed,
qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and
national electrical and building codes for installation.
• This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single
family only. In multifamily buildings, each individual
living unit should have its own smoke alarms. Do not
install in non-residential buildings. And this smoke alarm
is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
• Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level
of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for
many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote
part of the home, on another level, in a chimney, wall,
roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke may
not reach the smoke alarm in time to alert household
members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire
except in the area or room in which it is installed.
• Smoke alarm may not alert every household member every
time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals
to a potential danger. However, there may be some cir-
cumstances where a household member may not hear the
alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug
or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect
that this smoke alarm may not alert a household member,
install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Household
member must hear the alarm's warning sound and quickly
respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death
that may result from fire, If a household member is hard
of hearing, install special smoke alarms with lights or
vibrating devices to alert occupants.
