System Requirements

Parts of this Alarm

Understanding Your Alarm

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.

Where to Install (Continued)

Where Not to Install

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20 foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.
In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.
In direct sunlight.
In turbulent air, near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO/smoke from reaching the sensors.
In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚C) or hotter than 100˚ F (37.8˚C). These areas include non air conditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.
In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to sensing chamber.
Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.
In “dead air” spaces. See below for additional information.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm. To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.
For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead airspaces.
On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional Smoke/CO Alarms maybe required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

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.

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.

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

Press the Test/Silence button (On App or on unit).
Call your emergency services, fire department or 911.
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.
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.”

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.

Weekly Testing

During testing, you will see and hear the following sequence:

The Alarm Voice will say “Testing Alarms… The Alarm will sound and for your protection is very loud. This may take a few seconds”. The LED chases Blue. The Alarm Voice will say “Testing Smoke”. The Horn will sound 3 beeps. The LED chases and flashes Red. The Alarm Voice will say “Testing Carbon Monoxide”. The Horn will sound 4 beeps. The LED chases and flashes Red.
Next, the Alarm Voice will say “Testing Carbon Monoxide.” The Horn will sound 4 beeps, twice. The LED chases and flashes Red. The Alarm Voice will say Evacuate, Evacuate, there’s Carbon Monoxide in the [Location. Example: “Kitchen”].” The LED flashes green. The Alarm Voice will say “Highest carbon monoxide level was 0 PPM.” The LED chases Blue. The Alarm Voice will then say “The testing is almost complete.” After a pause, the Alarm Voice will say “The test is done, and you are protected.” The LED flashes green. If the unit does not alarm, make sure it has been activated correctly, and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

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/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.
If the Smoke/CO 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 “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.
When the battery becomes weak, the Smoke/CO alarm will “chirp” approximately once a minute (the low battery warning). This low battery warning should last for up to 7 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

Ionization & Photoelectric Technology

This alarm uses Photoelectric technology.

All First Alert®
Onelink®
Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.-
Ionization Technology Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than Photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Ionization & Photoelectric Technology (Continued)

Photoelectric Technology
Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
NOTE: For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home

Fire Safety Tips

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:

Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
Keep matches or lighters away from children.
Store flammable materials in proper containers.
Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits.
Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease-free and debris-free.
Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended.
Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials.
Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Basic Safety Information

Keep alarms clean and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

Fire Safety Tips (Continued)

What You Need to Know About CO

What is CO?
CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Airtight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:

Mild exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu”-like symptoms;
Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting;
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.

What You Need to Know About CO (Continued)

Finding the Source of CO After an Alarm Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.
Problem caused by “backdrafting.”
Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.
Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO.

Potential Sources of CO in the Home

Fuel-Burning Appliances: Like portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer. Damaged or Insufficient Venting: Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening. Improper Use of Appliance/Device: Operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or
screened porch). Transient CO Problems: “Transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor
conditions and other special circumstances. The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:
- Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
- Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
- Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.
- Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
- Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.
Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).
Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.
Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home. Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

Potential Sources of CO in the Home (Continued)

How Can I Protect My Family From CO Poisoning?
A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause back-drafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way
that would block air flow.
Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.
Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and
scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present. Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.
Check for exhaust back-flow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a back-draft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.
Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.
Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

Regulatory Information for CO Alarms

What Levels of CO Cause an Alarm?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of
CO over time (in minutes).
UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 4 & 15 MINUTES.
If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 10 & 50 MINUTES.
If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 60 & 240 MINUTES.
*Approximately 10% of COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative Humidity (RH).

This unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

Regulatory Information for CO Alarms (Continued)

Standards
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034. According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual. Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges The CO Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. Tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.
Audible Alarm 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters). This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion,
It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gases.

Special Compliance Considerations

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations. This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities. In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as “households”. HUD MAP Program: Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under
HUD 223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery.

General Limitations for Smoke/CO Alarms

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications wherOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired). Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/ CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

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 off 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 affect 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. 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 traffic, 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
