NOTE: This model is battery operated and features a non-replaceable,

sealed-in battery and Hush®to temporarily silence nuisance alarms.

Model: P3010CUCA (with voice warning)

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

WARNING:

Activation of the CO Alarm

indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)

which can kill you.

1) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open

door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are

accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away

from the open door/window until the emergency services

responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out,

and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

2) Call your local emergency service.

(fire department or 911)

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has

been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button

will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused

the alert in the first place continues, the alarm will

reactivate. If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it

is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a

dangerous situation.

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps

repeating every 5 seconds, followed by “Warning!

Carbon Monoxide! Monoxyde de carbone!”

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!

The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke

and carbon monoxide are present.

Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your

Combination Smoke/CO Alarm. The voice message warning system

will inform you of the type of situation occurring. Refer to the

Features section for a detailed description of each alarm pattern.

What To Do If The Alarm Sounds

When the smoke alarm sounds:

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette

smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is

blown directly into the alarm. This unit contains nuisance alarm

protection, which will reduce the impact of cooking particles.

However, large quantities of combustible particles from spills or

broiling could still cause the unit to alarm. Careful location of the

unit away from the kitchen area will give the maximum nuisance

alarm protection. Combustion particles from cooking may set off

the alarm if located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities

of combustible particles are generated from spills or when

broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside

(non- recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible

products from the kitchen.

If the alarm sounds, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered

follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with these items,

and review with all family members!

• Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very sound

and may not be awakened by the sound of the smoke

alarms.

• Leave immediately using one of your planned escape routes.

Every second counts, don’t stop to get dressed or pick up

valuables.

Smoke alarm pattern is 3 long beeps, repeating,

followed by “Fire! Feu!”

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!

Smoke alarm pattern is 3 long beeps, repeating,

followed by “Fire! Feu!”

• Before opening inside doors look for smoke seeping in

around the edges, and feel with the back of your hand

If the door is hot use your second exit. If you feel it’s

safe, open the door very slowly and be prepared to close

immediately if smoke and heat rush in.

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, crawl

low under the smoke where the air is clearer.

• Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two people

have arrived one should leave to call 911 from a neighbor’s

home, and the other should stay to perform a head count.

• Do not reenter under any circumstance until fire

officials say that it is safe to do so.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be

effective to protect against fire as noted by the NFPA

Standard 72. For instance:

- Smoking in bed

- Leaving children unsupervised

- Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

- Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming

initiated fire; for example, when a person’s

clothes catch fire while cooking

- Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching

the detector due to a closed door or other

obstruction

- Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that

an occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly

located detectors

1. Introduction

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before installation and keep

this user guide near the alarm for future reference.

Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to the

instructions in Warranty section for service.

This alarm detects products of combustion using photoelectric

technology and carbon monoxide using an electrochemical cell. Many

times throughout this User Guide, we will refer to Carbon Monoxide as

“CO.”

This alarm is acceptable for use in all residential applications where a

smoke or CO alarm is required, but locations near kitchens or cooking

areas should be carefully considered to give the maximum nuisance

alarm protection.

After ten (10) years of cumulative power up, this unit will “chirp” two

times every 30 seconds. This is an “operational end of life” feature

which will indicate that it is time to replace the alarm.

To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to

the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace by” date (10 years from initial

power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the unit.

with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such

that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape

should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-

in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

•Leadingauthoritiesrecommendthatbothionizationandphotoelectric

smoke alarms be installed to help ensure maximum detection of

the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization

sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with

fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric

sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow

smouldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
