If your Wireless smoke alarms enter alarm mode, first check to see if there is a fire.

If a fire does not exist, and the test buttons have not been activated on any of the

units, it is likely that you are receiving interference from a similar system nearby. In

this case, repeat the above steps and select a different dipswitch pattern, making

sure to disconnect power and remove the batteries before changing the switch

positions.

A maximum of 24 devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The

interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms

and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, etc.). With 18 alarms interconnect-

ed, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay

modules.

Kidde Wireless Battery-powered alarms CAN ONLY BE interconnected with other

Kidde Wireless alarms and accessories. Refer to User’s Guide supplied with each

Kidde product for lists of interconnect compatible models, brands, and devices.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Batteries were not installed at the factory and must be installed for the unit to operate!

Install the three(3) AA batteries in the back of the alarm.

• The mounting plate must be removed from the back of the unit to install batteries. To

remove, hold the mounting plate and twist counterclockwise (left).

• The battery polarity markings on the bottom of the battery compartment must be adhered to.

• Batteries must be installed in the sequence shown (see Figure 5). If batteries seem difficult to

install, they’re not being installed in the proper sequence.

• Alarm will not engage to bracket unless all three batteries are installed.

Removal of any or all batteries will render the alarm inoperative.

CAUTION! Alarm will not

engage to bracket unless all

three batteries are installed.

Removal of any or all

batteries will render the

alarm inoperative!

1. Complete the steps in section 3, WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP.

2. Remove mounting plate from the back of the unit by holding the rim of the mounting

plate and twisting counterclockwise (left).

3. Hold the mounting plate against the selected installation location (wall or ceiling) and
