Important Notes:  
• Sale and use of alarms for mobile ap-  
plications is prohibited in California  
• in each bedroom  
• on each floor level  
• stairways  
and certain other states. Check local  
regulations before installing this  
alarm.  
• in sleeping areas where electrical appli-  
ances are operated  
Your alarm contains less than 1 micro-  
curie (37 kilobecquerel) of Americium  
241, a radioactive material. To avoid  
exposure to this substance, do not  
tamper with the sealed radioactive  
source inside the alarm.  
Never install your alarm:  
• in a garage (combustion products are  
present when you start your automobile)  
• in front of forced air ducts used for heat-  
ing and air conditioning  
To dispose of the alarm safely, return it  
to your local RadioShack store or your  
local Health Department. Do not dis-

• at the peak of an A-frame type of ceiling  
• in areas where the temperature might  
fall below 40°F (4.4°C) or rise above  
100°F (37.8°C).  
This alarm complies with State of Califor-  
nia regulations requiring that temporal au-  
dible fire alarm signals be provided when a  
fire alarm system is used for total evacua-  
tion of occupants.  
During a fire, smoke, heat, and other com-  
bustion products rise to the ceiling and  
spread horizontally. In standard residential  
structures, install the alarm on the ceiling in  
the center of a room. (This places it closest  
to all points in the room).  
All fire alarm systems installed in the State  
of California must comply with these regu-  
lations. If you are not sure if your state re-  
quires that your fire alarm system comply  
with these regulations, consult your state’s  
fire regulatory authority.

lease the button. The alarm sounds a soft  
tone about every 30 to 40 seconds and re-  
duces its sensitivity to smoke. After about 8  
minutes, the alarm automatically resets itself  
to sound a loud tone when it detects smoke.  
OPERATION  
The alarm operates once a battery is in-  
stalled. When it senses smoke or other com-  
bustion products, the alarm sounds a loud  
tone which continues until the air is cleared.  
Important: If the alarm sounds, check for a  
fire. If a fire is discovered, leave the build-  
ing and call the fire department.  
NATIONAL FIRE  
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION  
REQUIRED PROTECTION  
Note: Smoke from household activities such  
as cooking and smoking will not normally set  
off the alarm unless that smoke is blown di-  
rectly at it.  
For your information, the National Fire Pro-  
tection Association’s Standard 72 reads as  
follows:  
“2-2.1.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed  
outside of each separate sleeping area in the  
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on  
each additional story of the family living unit  
including basements and excluding crawl  
spaces and unfinished attics. In new con-  
struction, a smoke detector shall be installed  
in each sleeping room.”  
TESTING THE ALARM  
Important: Test your alarm at least once a  
week.  
To test the alarm, hold down the test button  
on the front of the alarm for about 2 seconds.  
The alarm sounds a loud tone until you re-  
lease the test button.  
“A-2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection — Are More  
Smoke Detectors Desirable? The required  
number of smoke detectors might not pro-  
vide reliable early warning protection for  
those areas separated by a door from the ar-  
eas protected by the required smoke detec-  
tors. For this reason, it is recommended that  
the householder consider the use of addition-  
al smoke detectors for those areas for in-  
creased protection. The additional areas  
include the basement, bedrooms, dining  
room, furnace room, utility room, and hall-  
ways not protected by the required smoke  
detectors. The installation of smoke detec-  
tors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfin-  
ished), or garages is not normally  
recommended, as these locations occasion-  
ally experience conditions that can result in  
improper operation.”

of the alarm for at least 6 seconds, then re-
