SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING  
Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should  
be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible  
alarm horn, and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act.  
Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.  
These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed  
with ALL household members.  
RESPONDING TO AN ALARM  
USER’S MANUAL

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located,  
installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches  
the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm to install, refer to  
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72 (National Fire Alarm  
and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection  
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101. Local building  
codes may also require specific units in new construction or in different areas of  
the home.  
PARTS OF THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM  
Features:  
Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO  
Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).  
Removing batteries disables the alarm so 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.  
Alarm has reached its End of Life  
This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels  
are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain  
minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an  
alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this  
important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while  
you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may  
be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no  
longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children  
and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel  
any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac  
or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly  
people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience  
even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!  
Separate sensors to detect smoke  
and CO; the two alarm systems

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC  
powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC  
powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes.  
Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101  
(Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for  
detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”.  
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.

INSTALLATION  
WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM  
USING THE SILENCE FEATURES  
®
Damaged or insufficient venting:  
corroded or disconnected water  
heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe  
or flue, or cracked heat exchanger,  
blocked or clogged chimney opening.  
Improper use of appliance/device:  
operating a barbecue grill or vehicle  
in an enclosed area (like a garage or  
screened porch).  
All First Alert 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.  
Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National  
Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in  
every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For  
Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).  
For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends  
that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping  
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install  
additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your  
home.  
NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least  
15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where  
possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot  
be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or  
other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters)  
will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.  
Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing the  
batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.  
The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you  
identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency  
situations. It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fire.  
NOTE: Be sure to mount the product in the orientation specified in the  
next steps as this provides the most stability for mounting the product  
to the wall or ceiling.  
HUD MAP Program  
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive 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.  
Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those  
that fall under HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may  
require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm does not meet  
that requirement. Substitute First Alert SA340B.  
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:  
1. Turn alarm upside down so the circular shape  
is located in the upper left corner of the alarm.  
The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several  
minutes. You can silence this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the Test/Silence  
button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.  
FCC Compliance  
Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can  
be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.  
The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:  
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor  
conditions such as:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with  
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
2. Slide mounting bracket to the left and lift to  
separate it from the base.  
After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED blinks during the  
silence mode.  
California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)  
Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection  
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm  
installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms),  
and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms,  
kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage  
rooms, basements, and attached garages.  
For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each  
level and in every bedroom of your home.  
When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced  
When the CO Alarm is Silenced  
Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in  
the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).  
Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.  
Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited  
fresh air.  
The Smoke Alarm will remain silent  
for up to 15 minutes, then return to  
normal operation.  
If the smoke has not cleared–or  
continues to increase–the device  
will go back into alarm.  
The CO alarm will remain silent for  
up to 4 minutes.  
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-  
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

FIRE SAFETY TIPS  
After 4 minutes, if CO levels remain  
potentially dangerous the horn will  
start sounding again.  
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.  
Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces,  
ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS  
Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity  
fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to  
install, and do not require professional installation.  
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’t let rubbish accumulate.  
or water heaters.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of  
the receiver.  
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 (12 meters) long,  
install a unit at each end.  
Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify  
the above situations.  
3. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling  
(or wall) so the arrow located on the mounting  
plate is pointing to the left. (The circular shape  
will now be in upper right-hand corner). Trace  
around the insides of the mounting slots.  
SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING  
This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for  
up to 8 hours. You can silence the low battery warning “chirp” by pressing  
the Test/Silence button on the alarm cover.  
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).  
3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.  
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.  
These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home.  
Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during  
a CO investigation.  
AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses  
smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.  
AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the  
batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup  
power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only be operated  
with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most battery-  
powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or  
“quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm. If you are not sure about  
your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.  
At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.  
At the bottom of the basement stairs.  
For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage  
areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F  
(4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.  
Warning: Changes or modifications to the product, not expressly approved  
by First Alert / BRK Brands, Inc., could void the user’s authority to operate  
the equipment.  
4. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with  
dust when you drill the mounting holes.  
Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the unit  
continues to flash the Green light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours,  
the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the batteries as soon as  
possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!  
To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will  
go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and  
unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).  
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 are blocked.  
5. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole  
through the center of the oval outlines you  
traced in step #3.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject  
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful  
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION  
Continued...  
KEY:  
• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating  
instructions or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special  
attention to these items.  
• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family  
residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

7. Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall.  
A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.  
To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:  
SMOKE ALARMS  
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS  
This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for  
up to 2 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the  
Test/Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life  
silence feature has been activated.  
8. Install the batteries (included). Open the battery door.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in  
industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
(OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke  
Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents.  
Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents  
(CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).  
adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm  
device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home.  
Some experts recommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in  
conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see  
“About Smoke Alarms” for details.  
Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or  
exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the  
Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound  
sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic  
beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even  
persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by  
distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air condi-  
tioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm  
horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.  
The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage,  
injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immedi-  
ately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with  
matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though this  
Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke,  
BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives.  
Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all  
of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable  
as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test  
this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating  
properly.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this  
Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches  
the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a  
remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.  
SMOKE ALARM WITH  
SILENCE FEATURE  
Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and  
nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and  
corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper  
air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney  
in any way that would block air flow.  
Match the terminals on the ends of each battery with the terminals on the  
unit. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the batteries in until they snap  
securely and cannot be shaken loose. If the batteries are not snapped in  
completely, the unit cannot receive battery power.  
CO ALARMS  
After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.  
BOTH, OR COMBINATION  
SMOKE/CO ALARMS  
• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate  
alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire or any other  
gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at  
the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.  
The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that  
reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense  
gas, heat or flames.  
NOTE: After you install the batteries, the power indicator light may flash.  
(If the unit alarms, the light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly  
sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.)  
9. Attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting  
bracket. Line up the arrow on the back of the  
unit to the arrow on the mounting bracket.  
When the units are lined up, slide the alarm  
to the right until it snaps into place.  
Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas  
or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for  
a nominal fee.  
Suggested locations are based on  
NFPA recommendations (NFPA 72  
for Smoke Alarms and NFPA 720 for  
Carbon Monoxide Alarms). Always  
refer to national and local codes  
before beginning any installation.  
Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan  
at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grand-  
parents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding  
a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily  
waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family  
members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist  
them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you  
hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their  
response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine  
whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.  
Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units cannot  
work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries  
are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC  
power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power  
line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are  
concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the  
sensors. It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be  
present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which  
CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night,  
we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm,  
or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway  
between them.  
This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the  
home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense  
smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give  
WEEKLY TESTING  
Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check  
appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the  
burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame  
means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.  
Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when  
they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances  
are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in  
garages or on screen porches.  
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). NEVER use vehicle exhaust!  
Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty.  
In new construction AC and AC/DC smoke alarms MUST  
be interconnected to meet NFPA recommendations.  
When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be  
placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the  
wall/ceiling line.  
• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working batteries.  
Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to replace the  
batteries at the end of their service life, removes your protection.  
• NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds”  
for more information on how to respond to an alarm. Failure to  
respond can result in injury or death.  
• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not  
correct a problem. See "Using the Silence Features" for details.  
Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm.  
Failure to do so can result in injury or death.  
Test this Smoke/CO Alarm once a week. If the Alarm ever fails to  
test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the Alarm is not  
working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.  
• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of  
family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in  
compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with  
medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon  
monoxide may consider using warning devices which provide  
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations  
under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide  
and your medical condition contact your physician.  
NOTE: Once the Smoke/CO Alarm is snapped  
onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate  
the Smoke/CO Alarm to adjust the alignment.  
DO NOT 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.  
When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as  
possible.  
Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on  
an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat  
exchangers.  
10. Test the Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”  
In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and  
ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.  
It is 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/CO Alarm.  
Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.  
Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is  
escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows  
and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.  
IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS  
WHAT TO DO FIRST–IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM  
NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep  
carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.  
You can test this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing and holding the Test/Silence  
button on the Alarm cover until Alarm Voice says “Testing” (typically 3-5  
seconds).

CO Alarm sounds.  
Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes  
Type of Alarm  
What You See and Hear  
For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping  
area as possible. For more security, 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.  
Carbon Monoxide (CO)  
Voice: “Warning, evacuate carbon  
monoxide in [Location,  
During testing, you will see and hear the following sequence:  
example: “Kitchen”]. Evacuate.”  
• The Alarm Voice will say “Testing.” The Horn will sound 3 beeps,  
pause, 3 beeps. The Alarm Voice will say “Warning, evacuate smoke in  
[Location, example: “Kitchen”]. Evacuate.” The Power LED flashes Red.  
• Next the Horn will sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The Alarm Voice  
will say “Warning, evacuate carbon monoxide in [Location, example:  
“Kitchen”]. Evacuate.” The LED flashes Red.

Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form  
when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens,  
garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from  
the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space  
heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not  
possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is  
recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning  
sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to  
keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source,  
and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a  
Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate  
these areas as much as possible.  
Horn "chirps" about once per minute;  
Voice: "Replace battery in [Location]" every 5 hours

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS  
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.  
“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”  
If you hear the CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing, move  
everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT remove the batteries!  
For First Time and When Changing Batteries  
Test it at least once a week.  
* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative  
Humidity (RH).  
The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm  
for 30 days.  
Action:  
Alarm Will Say:  
Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the  
outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft  
brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or  
office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions  
for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents  
since they may damage the unit.  
The light flashes GREEN and the horn sounds 5  
“chirps” every minute;  
Voice: "Detector error in [Location, example  
"Basement"], please see manual." Repeated every  
5 hours.  
END OF LIFE SIGNAL. Alarm needs to be replaced.  
Immediately replace the Alarm.  
1. Insert batteries (2, AA batteries).  
“Welcome, First Alert Carbon  
Monoxide and Smoke Alarm.”  
“No location programmed” if first  
time or “[Location, example:  
“Kitchen”] location programmed”  
when changing batteries.  
To select location, press and hold  
test button now.”  
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide  
(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you  
must not ignore it!  
Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near  
kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor  
and cause unwanted alarms.  
CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.  
Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.  
Carbon Monoxide Alarm ONLY:  
If the Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust  
and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace  
the unit immediately.  
IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:  
1. Press the Test/Silence button.  
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the  
number of your local emergency service here:  
An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average,  
healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.  
An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy  
adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.  
CO Alarm goes back into alarm 4 minutes after you  
Silence it.  
CO levels indicate a potentially dangerous situation.  
IF YOU ARE FEELING SYMPTOMS OF CO  
POISONING, EVACUATE your home and call 911  
or the Fire Department. Refer to "If The CO Alarm  
Sounds" for details.  
In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters)  
from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room,  
utility room, or other source of high humidity.  
Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where This  
Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

__________________________________________________________________  
Choosing a replacement battery:  
CO Alarm sounds frequently even though no high  
levels of CO are revealed in an investigation.  
The CO Alarm may be improperly located. Refer to  
“Where to Install This Alarm” for details.  
Relocate your Alarm. If frequent alarms continue,  
have home rechecked for potential CO problems.  
You may be experiencing an intermittent  
CO problem.  
In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may  
prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.  
3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or 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 or window until the  
emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired  
out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.  
Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two standard AA alkaline batteries. The  
following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Eveready Energizer E91 or  
Duracell MN1500. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.  
According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon  
monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the  
presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust  
from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances,  
and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels  
below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon  
Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is  
designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you  
precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible  
if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.  
In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚C) or hotter than 100˚ F  
(37.8˚C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished  
attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.  
3. After you hear the location of  
where you are placing the Alarm,  
Press & Hold the Test Button.  
“[Location, example: “Kitchen”]  
location saved.”  
If no location is chosen: “No location  
saved.”  
Smoke Alarm ONLY:  
In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing  
chamber.  
Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual.  
DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and  
also those of the device prior to battery installation. Install batteries  
correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).  
Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any  
local regulations. Consult your local waste management authority  
or recycling organization to find an electronics recycling facility in  
your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES  
MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.  
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour  
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to inves-  
tigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and  
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified  
during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any  
combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the  
manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more  
information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor  
vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or  
adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance  
technician here:  
Smoke Alarm sounds when no smoke is visible.  
Unwanted alarm may be caused by non-emergency  
source like cooking smoke.  
Silence Alarm using manual button; clean the  
Alarm’s cover with a soft, clean cloth. If frequent  
unwanted alarms continue, relocate your Alarm.  
Alarm may be too close to a kitchen, cooking  
appliance, or steamy bathroom.
