IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR SMOKE ALARM
• Before installing your smoke alarm, you must read this entire
Owner’s Manual.
• This alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for
evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three short beeps
followed by a 2 second pause and then repeats. This pattern is
somewhat different than the previous alarm sound, which continually
beeped.
• Install a smoke alarm in each room and area of your home. See
“WHERE YOU SHOULD INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS.”
