HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM
This Smoke Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local
codes). Read “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” before you begin installation.
Tools you will need:
• Needle-nose pliers or utility knife
• Standard Flathead screwdriver.
Make sure the Alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the same circuit, power from a generator
or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy power may cause damage to your Alarm.
THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM
The Mounting Bracket: To remove the mounting bracket
from the Smoke Alarm base, hold the Smoke Alarm base
firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise.
The mounting bracket installs onto the junction box.
It has a variety of screw slots to fit most boxes.
The Power Connector: The power connector
plugs into a power input block on the Smoke

will flash rapidly. The red LEDs will remain OFF on any remaining alarms in the
series. This feature helps responders identify which unit(s) triggered the alarm.
WEEKLY TESTING
• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally
damage or set fire to the unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately
tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
• If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.
Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for
replacement. See “Limited Warranty” at the end of this manual.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range
may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.
It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the
test button is the recommended way to test this Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the Test/
Silence button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds and the Escape Light® turns
on (Model 7020B only) (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after you release
the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it again. If it
still does not alarm, replace it immediately. During testing, you will hear a loud, repeating
horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. The Escape Light® will turn on (Model
7020B only). LED flashes once every second. When powered by AC only, Escape Light®
will not activate. The Escape Light® feature works only when powered by DC or AC/DC.
When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit
individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there
are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:
• Test it at least once a week.
• Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the
Smoke Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the Smoke
Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.
• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and
cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.
• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See
“Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.
• When the battery back-up becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm will “chirp” about
once a minute (the low battery warning). This warning should last 7 days, but
you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.
Choosing a replacement battery:
Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are acceptable
as replacements: Eveready #1222, Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready (Energizer)
#522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J, U9VL-J-P for longer service
life between battery changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.
• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual. DO NOT use
rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior
to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local
regulations. Consult your local waste management authority or recycling
organization to find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT
DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.
• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed,
immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National
Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.
Actual battery service life depends on the smoke alarm and the environment in which it is
installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this
unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the
battery immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).
IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS
RESPONDING TO AN ALARM
During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause,
3 beeps, pause. The Escape Light® will turn on (Model 7020B only).
• 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.
• Never disconnect the AC power to quiet an unwanted alarm. Disconnecting the power
disables the Alarm so it cannot sense smoke. This will remove your protection. Instead,
open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The Alarm will reset automatically.
• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Attempting to disconnect the power connector from
the unit when the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death.
When an interconnected system of AC powered units is in alarm, the alarm indicator light on
the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will blink rapidly. It will remain OFF on any remaining units.
If the unit alarms, get everyone out of the dwelling immediately.
If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire—cooking
smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and
fan the smoke away from the unit (Use the Silence Feature to silence the Alarm). This will
silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset itself automatically.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE
• Don’t panic; stay calm. 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.
Alarms have various limitations. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.
USING THE SILENCE FEATURE
The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 15 minutes.
The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive
to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a
potentially dangerous situation, the unit will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly.
If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alarm.
Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death.
To silence Smoke Alarms in an interconnected series:
1. To silence multiple alarms in an interconnected series, you must press
the Test/Silence button on the unit(s) that triggered the alarm.
2. Once you activate the Silence feature, the Red LED will
flash approximately once every 10 seconds.
3. Pressing the Test/Silence button when in silence will restart the silence timer.
The Silence Feature on these units can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for
up to 15 minutes. To use this feature, press the Test/Silence button on the cover.
If the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in
silence mode continuously, it should be replaced immediately.
LATCHING FEATURE
Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of smoke. After smoke drops
below alarm levels, the Red LED will flash 3 times, spaced one second apart. The pattern repeats
approximately every 45 seconds unless reset by Test/Silence button. In addition, instead of waiting
for up to 45 seconds to see if an alarm has had the Alarm Latch feature set, a unit with an active
Alarm Latch can be identified by pressing and holding (without releasing) the Test button. If a
unit has an active Alarm Latch, the Red light will blink rapidly (with no horn sound) until the Test
button is released. If the unit does not have an active Alarm Latch set, the unit will go through the
normal test cycle. Note: Once the Test button is released the Latching Feature will be reset.
This feature helps emergency responders, investigators, or service technicians identify which unit(s) in
your home were exposed to alarm levels of smoke. This can help investigators pinpoint the source of
smoke. The Alarm Latch stays ON until you clear it, so it can alert you to an alarm that occurred while
you were away from home, even though smoke present in the air has dropped below alarm levels.
IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM
Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or weak batteries (Model
7010B only), a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover, or installation in
an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,” and
install a fresh battery, then test the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you
use the test button, or if the problem persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.
• If you hear a “chirp” approximately once a minute, replace the battery (Model 7010B only).
• If you hear 3 “chirps” approximately once a minute, replace the
alarm immediately. This is the malfunction indicator.
• If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those caused
by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.
• If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or
relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty.
• If the alarm does not sound during testing, make sure it is
receiving AC power from the household current.
• The Escape Light® bulb is not replaceable (Model 7020B only). In the unlikely event that
the Escape Light® does not operate during testing, please obtain warranty service.
Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Smoke
Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next,
remove the battery from Smoke Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press and
hold the test button for 5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.
Do not try fixing the alarm yourself – this will void your warranty!
If the Smoke Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty,
please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited Warranty.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS
Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in
every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC
powered and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for details. For additional
coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas,
finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F
(37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.
More specifically, install Smoke 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 long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.
• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.
Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region
to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It
is recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.
