Featuring a low profile, contemporary design, the First Alert
PRC710 Slim Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with 10
Year Battery provides the same protection as a standard smoke
alarm while taking up only a fraction of the space. This slim,
battery operated smoke detector requires no hardwiring for
installation, making it an ideal solution for those who want to
enhance fire safety without hiring an electrician. It features a
built in 10 year lithium ion battery that provides continuous
power for up to a decade. Equipped with an ultra reliable
photoelectric sensor, the smoke alarm detects smoke from slow
burning, smoldering fires while keeping false alarms to a
minimum. A patented smoke entry system further enhances the
detector's reliability by providing a direct path to the smoke
sensor. The unit also features an advanced electro sensor
that detects carbon monoxide leaks from multiple sources such as
faulty fuel burning appliances and blocked chimneys. The simple
twist lock ing system installs easily onto a wall or
ceiling, while the tamper resistant locks help prevent removal of
the battery to keep the alarm secure. Half as thick as a standard
alarm, the smoke detector has a sleek, slim design that blends in
seamlessly with most decor. A loud 85 decibel alarm sounds when
smoke is detected, and a convenient test/silence button lets you
easily check alarm function and mute false alarms.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS: Activating the battery. alarm to
ing bracket to activate. Once unit is activated, it cannot
be turned off. NOTE: After you activate the battery, the power
indicator light may flash. (If the unit alarms, the light will
blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound 3 beeps, pause,
3 beeps.) Once the Smoke Alarm is on the bracket, you can rotate
the Alarm to adjust the alignment. Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at
least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO
Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can
of clean compressed air may also be used. Follow manufacturer
instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water,
cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit. If the
Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust
and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms,
replace the unit immediately. DO NOT LOCATE THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM:
In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Where combustion
particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something
burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens,
garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6
meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace,
water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot
(6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or
smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be
placed as fa from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The
placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a
reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce
“unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is
placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these
areas as much as possible. Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any
cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can
draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted
alarms. In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least
10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer,
dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high
humidity. In direct sunlight. In turbulent air, like near ceiling
fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from
reaching the sensors. In areas where temperature is colder than
40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas
include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics,
uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.
In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the
sensing chamber. Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from
fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the
sensor. In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.
