Product Description
-------------------
Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm provides two
important safety devices in a single unit. This alarm includes a
voice warning system that announces "Fire, Carbon Monoxide, Low
Battery and Smart Hush Activation." The voice alarm eliminates
any confusion and clearly warns you of a smoke or carbon monoxide
danger, or if your battery is in need of replacement. This
technologically advanced combination alarm is battery-operated,
offering protection even during a power outage when many
incidences occur. It is easy to install. This alarm uses
ionization sensing technology. Battery-powered alarm provides
protection even during power outages when many fire and carbon
monoxide incidents occur. The battery door will not close unless
the two AA batteries are properly installed.

The Kidde KN-COSM-BA battery-operated carbon monoxide and smoke
alarm combines two important safety devices into a single unit.
This alarm includes a voice warning system that makes four
announcements: fire, carbon monoxide, low battery, or smart hush
activation. The voice alarm eliminates any confusion and clearly
warns you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger,
or if your battery is in need of replacement. This unit uses
three AA batteries, protecting you and your family even during a
power outage.
This alarm uses ionization-sensing technology for the smoke
alarm. Ionization-sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than
photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric-sensing alarms may detect
visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than
ionization alarms. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization
and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure
maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur
within the home.

.Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm
The Kidde combination carbon monoxide and smoke alarm includes a
voice warning system that eliminates confusion and clearly warns
you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) danger, of
low battery, or of hush-mode setting.Alarm Warnings
Fire: The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long
alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning message: "Fire! Fire!"
The alarm will repeat the pattern until smoke is eliminated.
Carbon Monoxide: Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal
warning: "Warning--carbon monoxide!" This continues until the
unit is reset or the CO is eliminated.
Low Battery: One chirp followed by warning: "Low battery." The
red LED light will flash. This pattern will continue every minute
for the first hour. After the first hour, the red LED light will
flash once every minute and will be accompanied by the chirp
sound. The low-battery warning will only sound once every 15
minutes.
Voice Hush Indication: "Hush activated" and "Hush canceled" voice
announcement.
Peak Level Memory: If the alarm had detected a CO level of 100ppm
or higher when the test/reset button is pressed, the unit will
announce, "Carbon monoxide previously detected" to warn of the CO
incident.
Trademarked Hush Feature for Convenience
By pressing the hush button, you can easily and safely silence
nuisance alarms caused by non-emergency situations, such as
overcooked dinners.
This feature desensitizes the alarm for approximately 10 minutes.
If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence
immediately, the unit will verbally announce, "Hush mode
activated," and the green LED will flash every two seconds for
approximately 10 minutes.
Reliable Battery Power, Indicator LED, Test Feature and
Low-Battery Warning
The battery-powered alarm provides continuous protection, even
during power outages. Because this alarm only helps protect you
if it's working, this unit features a red LED that flashes every
30 to 40 seconds to indicate that it is operating correctly. For
additional peace of mind, the alarm also contains a test/reset
button that enables you to periodically test its circuitry and
horn.
If any form of battery failure is detected, the red LED light
will flash and the unit will chirp one time, followed by the
warning message, "low battery." This cycle will occur once every
minute, and will continue for at least seven days.
Seven years after initial power up, this unit will chirp" every
30 seconds. This is an operational end-of-life feature that will
indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. UL 2034, the
independent standard applicable to CO alarms, requires CO alarms
to have an end-of-life warning. This requirement went into effect
in March 2007, meaning any CO alarm manufactured after April 2007
with a UL listing must have this feature. Most states that
require CO alarms in residential dwellings mandate that the alarm
meet the UL 2034 standard.
The unit measures just 5.75 inches in diameter and 1.7 inches
deep, and it features a neutral white finish. It includes
tamper-resistant features to deter vandalism or theft. This
combination smoke/CO alarm is UL listed, so you can be confident
of its quality, and it is backed by a ten-year limited warranty.
