General Limitations for Smoke/CO Alarms (Continued)

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. If the AC power is cut o 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 aect 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.

CAUTION: This device will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.

Carbon monoxide gas may be present.

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 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 trac,

stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, 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 immediately. 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.
