ring Smoke/CO Listener User Manual

Smoke and CO notifications for
Ring Alarm.
Ring Smoke/CO Listener is a smart sound
sensor for Ring Alarm. It does not sense
smoke or CO directly. Instead, it adds
smart features to your UL listed smoke,
CO, or smoke & CO alarm.
When your smoke or CO alarm begins
to sound, the Listener activates and Ring
Alarm notifies you of the issue. If your
system is professionally monitored, our
monitoring center is also notified.
Is your smoke or CO alarm ready?
Your new Listener depends on the
proper functioning of your smoke or
CO alarm. Smoke and CO alarms have
finite lifespans and some require regular
battery changes. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines.
