Kidde RF-SM-DC User Guide - Manual (Page 2)

Wireless, Battery-Powered, Single and/or Multiple Station (24 devices maximum,
see section 3) Ionization Smoke Alarm with Smart HUSH
® Control to temporarily
silence nuisance alarms.
This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It
contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see section 9).
Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compli-
ance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt
from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm your-
self. Refer to the instructions in Section 13 for service.
WARNING! Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire parti-
cles (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 unpre-
dictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both
Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.
WARNING! REMOVAL OF THE SMOKE ALARM BATTERIES WILL REN-
DER THE SMOKE ALARM INOPERATIVE.
