Features
•Loud 85 decibel alarm.
•Permanent independent smoke and carbon monoxide sensors.
•Smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.
•Powered by 120V AC (60 Hz, 45mA max) wire-in connector and two AA battery backup.
•Interconnectable to other Kidde/Nighthawk brand smoke and CO alarms (see page 15 for details).
•Alarm/Voice message warning system that alerts you of the following conditions in the manner described below, thus eliminating any confusion over which alarm is sounding:
FIRE: The alarm/voice pattern is three long alarm beeps followed by the verbal warning message “FIRE!” This pattern is repeated until the smoke is eliminated. The red LED light will flash while in alarm/voice mode.
CARBON MONOXIDE: The alarm/voice pattern is four short alarm beeps followed by the verbal warning message “WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE!'. This continues until the unit is reset or the CO is eliminated. While powered by battery only, after four minutes the alarm/voice pattern will sound once every minute. The red Light Emitting Diode (LED) light will flash while in alarm/voice mode.
LOW BATTERY: When the batteries are low and need replacing the red LED light will flash and the unit will “chirp” one time, followed by the warning message “LOW BATTERY.” This cycle will occur once every minute and will continue for at least seven days. Under battery power, the 'LOW BATTERY' voice only occurs once every 15 minutes.
•Voice Message System that alerts user to the following conditions:
–Only for smoke alarm Hush
System announces “HUSH MODE ACTIVATED” when the unit is first put into HUSH Mode.
–Only for smoke alarm Hush

Features
System announces “HUSH MODE CANCELLED” when unit resumes normal operation after Hush Mode has been cancelled.
–Only if button is pushed
System announces “CAUTION, CARBON CONOXIDE PREVIOUSLY DETECTED” when the unit has detected CO concentrations of 100 ppm or higher.
–System announces “PUSH TEST BUTTON” when the unit is powered up, reminding user to activate the Test Button.

•End of Life Hush. At end of product life, the button can be pushed to silence the end of life 'chirp' for approximately 3 days at a time, for a maximum of 30 days life extension.
•One “chirp” every 30 seconds coupled with a green LED flash twice a second is an indication that the alarm is malfunctioning. If this occurs call the Product Support Line at 1-800-880-6788.
•Test/Reset button performs functions.(See page 14).
•HUSH Control Feature that silences the unit during nuisance alarm situations (see page 15).
•Peak Level Memory Feature which alerts user when the unit has detected CO concentrations of 100 ppm or greater (see page 16).
•Alarm Memory Feature that gives visual indication when an alarm has sensed a hazardous condition.
•Green and red LED lights that indicate normal operation and alarm status (see page 16 and 17 for details).
•Tamper Resist Feature that deters children and others from removing the alarm (see page 17).
•Battery reminder flag that prohibits installation when batteries are not present.

Indoor Co2 System
Features and General Information
Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm monitors the air for products of combustion that are produced when something is burning or smoldering. When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specified concentration, the alarm/voice message warning system will sound, and be accompanied by the flashing red LED light. The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.
!WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
•Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.
•A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed properly.
•Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
•Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different floor.

Features and General Information
•If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

•The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’sability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
•Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their lives and property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the air for the presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of CO present, and when there are low levels of CO present over a longer period of time (see page 21 for alarm times). When a CO condition matches either of these situations, the alarm/voice message warning system will sound, and be accompanied by the flashing red LED light. The carbon monoxide sensor uses an electrochemical technology.
! CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

Installation Instructions
Step 1
Installation Guide:
IMPORTANT: THIS ALARM MUST BE MOUNTED ON A CEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!
A. Recommended Installation Locations:
Kidde Safety recommends the installation of a Smoke/CO Alarm in the following locations. For maximum protection we suggest an alarm be installed on each level of a multilevel home, including every bedroom, hallways, finished attics and basements. Put alarms at both ends of bedroom, hallway or large room if hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1m) long. If you have only one alarm, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside of the main sleeping area, or in the main bedroom. Verify the alarm can be heard in all sleeping areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction. When mounting an alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum of 4” (10cm) from the
side wall (see figure 1). If installing the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm
at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5cm) below
the ceiling (see figure 1).
