Where to Install
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.
In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide 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 (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.
• 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).
Recommended Placement
• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches
(102 mm) and 6 inches (153 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.
• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.
• 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.
NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke
from reaching the Alarm.
Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes
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.

Set-Up & Installation
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.
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. When wall mounting, the speaker opening
is in the upper left corner. This alarm is designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall if necessary.
Ensure the iOS software is updated to iOS 10 or later or Android 5 or later.
Step 1 Download the free Onelink app from the App Store
or Google Play and follow set-up instructions.
Speaker
Opening
Step 2 Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or
wall) so the two universal mounting holes are aligned
approximately at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions.
(See image). Trace around the holes with a pencil.
Step 3 Put the unit where it won’t get covered with
dust when you drill the mounting holes.
Step 4 Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through
the center of the outlines you traced.
Step 5 Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic
bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw
anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary,
until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.
Step 6 Install the screws but do not tighten completely. Attach the mounting bracket by aligning
the screws in the open portion of the universal mounting slots and rotating the bracket into
place. Tighten the screws until they are snug to secure the bracket. Do not over tighten.
Step 7 Mount alarm to mounting bracket to activate the alarm.
NOTE: After you activate the Alarm, the Color Indicator Ring will power up and the Alarm will
welcome you. To program your alarm, follow the instructions provided in the Onelink app.
!
WARNING: iOS and Android device notifications require a functional Wireless connection. For best
results, recommended to use with a 802.11 b/g/n/ac router. The notifications are only as reliable as
your Wireless network and are not a substitute for a third party emergency monitoring service.
10
Wireless Interconnect
Benefits of Wireless Interconnect
The wireless interconnect feature on this alarm allows you to connect each of your
First Alert Onelink alarms so when one alarm sounds, they all will sound.
!
WARNING: Install alarms and test to assure range and
reliability of interconnection throughout the house.
• First Alert Onelink alarms can typically communicate with each other if they’re 50ft (15m) apart inside a
home. Keep in mind that some features of a home may reduce the interconnect range and reliability of
interconnection, including the number of floors, number/size of rooms, furniture, type of building material,
suspended ceilings, ductwork, large metallic appliances and metal studs. This kind of interference may be
fixed by adding more Onelink alarms that can route wireless signals around any various obstructions.
• Make sure you test your Onelink alarms for proper interconnection via the weekly testing.
Wireless Frequency: This alarm supports wireless frequency of 2.4Ghz. For best results, recommended to use
with a 802.11 b/g/n/ac router.
Adding Additional Alarms: Simply follow the instructions on your Onelink app to add additional alarms to your account.
Identification of Events: If your alarm sounds, it is important to first identify the type of alarm.
When the Alarm Sounds
What To Do If The Smoke Alarm Sounds
• 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.
• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.
What To Do In Case of a Fire
• Don’t panic; stay clam. 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.)
• 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.

When the Alarm Sounds (Continued)
What To Do If The CO Alarm Sounds
1. Press the Test/Silence button (On App or on unit).
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911.
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.
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 investigate 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.
NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a
representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning
(HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”
!
WARNING: Actuation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.
If alarm signal sounds (description of alarm signal, eg four beeps): (1) immediately move to fresh air outdoors or by
an open window. check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premise or move away from the open
door/window until the emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm
remains in its normal condition; (2) call you emergency local service (telephone number) (fire department or 911)
(ii) If “service” signal sounds (description of the trouble signal eg. one beep)
Using the Silence Feature
The Silence Feature
This 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. 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 or via the
Onelink app. After the Test/Silence button is released, the Red LED stops during the silence mode.
Silence the End of Life Signal
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 or via the Onelink app. The horn will chirp, acknowledging
that the End of Life silence feature has been activated. After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.
!
WARNING: Never deactivate the unit to quiet an unwanted alarm.
Deactivating the alarm disables the unit and removes your protection.
