Battery powered, wireless Smoke Alarm with SMART HUSH
®
Control to
temporarily silence nuisance alarms.
Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm, part of
the Kidde Wireless System. It is an important part of your family’s home safety
plan. You can trust this product to provide the highest level of quality and per-
formance. We know you expect nothing less when the lives of your family are
at stake. This alarm, in combination with other Kidde Wireless products, pro-
vides you with an interconnected alarm system without having the inconven-
ience or extensive labor of rewiring your home. An interconnected alarm system
provides an earlier warning to smoke or fire by linking alarms so that when one
unit sounds, it will trigger all other units to sound, thereby giving a family more
time to escape. Kidde estimates that nearly 100 million U.S. homes either do
not have interconnected smoke alarms, or have limited coverage. For homes
that do have interconnected systems, this battery powered alarm can provide
additional fire protection in other areas of the home.
