Smoke and Fire Alarm with Silence Control
Your RadioShack Smoke and Fire Alarm is
a simple-to-install warning device. The
alarm’s loud tone helps warn you if there is
smoke present, and its low-battery indica-
tor lets you know when it is time to change
the battery.
You can set the alarm so it sounds a re-
duced tone when there is smoke from a
known source (such as cooking) in the ar-
ea, to reduce false alarms.
Important Notes:
• Sale and use of alarms for mobile ap-
plications is prohibited in California
and certain other states. Check local
regulations before installing this
alarm.
• 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.
• To dispose of the alarm safely, return it
to your local RadioShack store or your
local Health Department. Do not dis-
pose of your alarm in any other way.
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.
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.
RECOMMENDED ALARM
LOCATIONS
If you are installing a single alarm, install it as
close as possible to bedrooms. Since bed-
rooms are usually farthest from the exit, in-
stall the alarm in the hallway outside the
bedrooms.
Depending on the layout of your home or of-
fice, you might need to install more than one
alarm. Install additional alarms in the follow-
ing places:
• in each bedroom
• on each floor level
• stairways
• in sleeping areas where electrical appli-
ances are operated
Never install your alarm:
• in a garage (combustion products are
present when you star t your automobile)
• in front of forced air ducts used for heat-
ing and air conditioning
• 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).
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).
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
