Product Description
-------------------
The Kidde Wireless Smoke Detector, AA Battery Operated
(Included), Ionization Sensor Wire-Free Interconnect Smoke Alarm,
model RF-SM-DC, is a basic smoke detector that uses ionization
sensor technology to detect invisible fire particles (associated
with fast flaming fires). When smoke or fire is detected, an
85-decibel alarm will sound. The Kidde Wireless Smoke Alarm
enables extension of coverage & protection without any need for
additional wiring. When one alarm sounds, they all do, providing
an early warning against fire by dramatically increasing your
ability to hear an alarm anywhere in your home, regardless of
where the fire starts. The Kidde Wireless Smoke Detector is
powered by 2-AA alkaline batteries (included), which provide easy
installation since the alarm requires no wiring, plus coverage
during a power failure. A red LED indicates that the smoke
detector is sensing smoke or fire. A test-hush button allows you
to test the battery operations as well as silence nuisance alarms
that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The Kidde Wireless
Smoke Detector will chirp when it's time to replace the battery.
The Kidde smoke detector can be used as a single unit or
interconnected with up to 24 Kidde devices (18 of which can be
initiated) in a multiple-station arrangement, not exceeding the
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) limit of 18
initiating devices (smoke, heat, CO). It is possible to
interconnect 6 strobe lights and or relay modules. Install a
smoke detector & carbon monoxide detector on every level of your
home and near bedrooms to help keep your family safe from fire &
poisonous . UL Certified with a 10-year limited manufacturer's
warranty. Meets requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002
edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal
Housing Authority (FHA).

What's in the Box One 0919-9999 smoke alarm with ing
bracket and ing hardware, 3- AA batteries, a 10-year limited
warranty and a bilingual user's manual. The Kidde 0919-9999
Battery-Operated Wireless Smoke Alarm allows for the easy
installation of an interconnected smoke alarm system without the
high cost and hassle of rewiring your home. The alarms are
wirelessly linked so that when one alarm is triggered, all alarms
will sound. This alarm can also be placed in a detached workshop
or shed and linked into the home's interconnected system. Experts
recommend interconnected alarms, because when one sounds, they
all sound, providing an early warning against fire by
dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm anywhere in
your home, regardless of where the fire starts. Newer homes are
required by code to have interconnected alarms. Wireless
technology now enables any home to have an interconnected system.
This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. 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 insure maximum detection of the various types
of fire that can occur within the home. Choose the Right Wireless
Alarms for Your Home Kidde offers two wireless product options: a
Battery Powered Smoke Alarm, and an AC Powered Smoke Alarm. These
products enable you to customize your system based on your
specific needs. Read below to see which Kidde wireless smoke
alarms are best for your home. Why Wireless? When one alarm
sounds they all do Ability to interconnect without wires Install

places in case of smoke or fire in your home. The Kidde Wireless
System alarms have a hush button to silence nuisance alarms. View

Steps Step 1 - Determine the type of smoke alarms currently
installed in your house. 1. Battery Powered No wires; runs only
on batteries. Most older homes have battery-powered smoke alarms.
These alarms have no protruding wires and are battery powered. 2.
Hardwired Runs on your home's electricity and may have battery
backup. Only one alarm sounds when test button is pressed. If
your home was built in the last 20 years, you probably have
hardwired smoke alarms. If only the alarm that you test sounds,
then you do not have an interconnected system. 3. Interconnected
Runs on your home's electricity and may have battery backup. All
alarms sound when one test button is pressed. Homes built in the
last 15 years may have an interconnected smoke alarm system. If
all alarms sound when you test, you have an interconnected
system. Step 2 - Decide how many alarms you need in your home.
The NFPA recommends at least one smoke alarm on every level of
the home and in every ing area. Step 3 - Based on your
home's current alarm set-up, decide which Kidde Wireless alarms
to purchase. 1. If your home has only battery powered alarms:
Purchase enough Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Smoke Alarms
(0919-9999) to replace all of your current smoke alarms. You will
also have the ability to add Kidde Wireless Battery Powered
Alarms in additional rooms for expanded coverage. 2. If your home
has only hardwired smoke alarms: Purchase enough Kidde Wireless
AC Powered Smoke Alarms (1279-9999) to replace all of your
current smoke alarms. You will also have the ability to add Kidde
Wireless Battery Powered Alarms in additional rooms for expanded
coverage. 3. If your home has interconnected smoke alarms:
Purchase one Kidde Wireless AC Powered Smoke Alarms to replace
one current smoke alarm. Kidde Wireless Battery Powered Alarms
can then be installed in additional rooms. Interconnectable for
Improved Safety Fire and consumer experts recommend
interconnected alarms for added protection. According to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), most Americans feel
they are more at risk of being a victim of a tornado than of a
house fire. Actually the site is true. Fires are more common
than any other disaster that strikes a family at home, and can
become deadly in minutes. You have on average less than three
minutes from the time you hear a smoke alarm to escape a fire.
The sooner you hear an alarm, the sooner you can get out safely.
Smoke alarms that link together so that when one goes off, they
all go off, are called interconnected alarms. These alarms
provide more warnings in more places, giving your family more
time to escape a house fire. Houses built after 1993 are required
by building codes to have interconnected alarms that are wired
into their electrical system. 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 alarm's Smart Hush
feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm
circuit for up to 8 minutes. This feature is to be used only when
a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates
the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the
Test/Hush button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not
too dense, the alarm will silence immediately. The red LED will
illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds while in hush. This
indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized
condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after
approximately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of
combustion are still present. Smart Hush can be used repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the
alarm. Pushing the Test/Hush button on the alarm will end the
hush period. 3-AA Batteries, Indicator LED, and Test Feature
Because a smoke alarm only helps protect you if it's working,
this unit features a red LED that flashes every 10 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. The alarm's 3-AA
batteries provide continuous protection against smoke and fire
hazards, even during power outages. The unit offers a low battery
warning that issues a brief chirp every 30 to 40 seconds for at
least seven days before losing power, letting you know that it's
time to change the battery. This alarm is UL listed, so you can
be confident of its quality, and it is backed by a 10-year
limited warranty that lasts the life of the alarm. About Kidde: A
