WARNINGS:
This smoke and heat detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which
means that it should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to
be used in lobbies, hallways, basements, or another apartment in multi-family buildings,
unless there are already working detectors in each family unit. Smoke and heat detectors
placed in common areas outside of the individual living unit, such as on porches or in
hallways, may not provide early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family
living unit should set up its own detectors.
This detector is not to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or
commercial buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire
detection and alarm systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete
fire detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or
motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals; nursing homes or group homes of any
kind, even if they were once single-family homes. Please refer NFPA 101, the Life Safety
Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke and heat detector requirements
for fire protection in buildings not defined as "households".

SELECTING A LOCATION

Smoke and heat detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard 74
(National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169). For
complete coverage in residential units, smoke and heat detectors should be installed in all
rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics in each family living unit. Minimum
coverage is one detector on each floor and one in each sleeping area and attic in each
family living unit.
