Step 1Installation Guide:IMPORTANT: THIS ALARM MUST BE MOUNTED ON ACEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS ATABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!A. Recommended Installation Locations:Kidde Safety recommends the installation of a Smoke/CO Alarmin the following locations. For maximum protection we suggestan alarm be installed on each level of a multilevel home,including every bedroom, hallways, finished attics andbasements. Put alarms at both ends of bedroom, hallway or largeroom if hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1m) long. If youhave only one alarm, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside ofthe main sleeping area, or in the main bedroom. Verify the alarmcan be heard in all sleeping areas.Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with thedoor closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not locatedin that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat andcombustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the roomplaces it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting ispreferred in ordinary residential construction. When mounting analarm on the ceiling,locate it at a minimumof 4” (10cm) from theside wall (see figure1). If installing thealarm on the wall, usean inside wall with thetop edge of the alarmat a minimum of 4”(10cm) and a maximumof 12” (30.5cm) belowthe ceiling (see figure1).Installation Instructions8 FIGURE 1
