INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing First Alert®for your Smoke Alarm needs. You have purchased a state of the art Smoke Alarm designed to provide you with

early warning of a fire. Please take the time to read this manual and make the Smoke Alarm an integral part of your family’s safety plan.

KEY FEATURES OF THE PR710A-6 SMOKE ALARM:

Photoelectric Sensing Technology: Photoelectric Sensors are generally more sensitive than ionization sensors

in detecting smoldering fires which commonly occur in couches or bedding.

OptiPath 360 Technology™: Patented technology provides 360° of direct access to the smoke sensor.

Single Test/Silence Button: Allows you to test the Alarm or silence nuisance alarms. Testing the Alarm assures you that the unit is functioning

correctly and ready to protect you and your family. The Alarm can be silenced for up to 9 minutes in the event of a nuisance alarm.

10 Year End of Life Indicator: 3 horn pulses every 43 seconds alerts you that the unit must be replaced.

Local Alarm Memory: Green LED flashes 3 times every 43 seconds for 24 hours. After 24 hours the unit will chirp

rapidly while the Test button is pressed. Memory is cleared when the button is released.

Low battery warning: The Alarm will sound a “chirp” once per minute when the Smoke Alarm needs to be replaced.

Low battery silence: The Alarm can be silenced for 8 hours.

Red Blinking Power Indicator every 6 minutes: Confirms that the Smoke Alarm is receiving power.

All First Alert®Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements,

including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke

particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at

detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming

fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of

these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology

at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts

by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame.

Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on

each level and in every bedroom of your home.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from

children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits; 5) Keep

stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters

and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate. Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms

immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every

floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

Important! Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors the air, and when smoke reaches

its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and

located where smoke can reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms: Battery powered or electrical? Different Smoke Alarms

provide different types of protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms: Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one Smoke Alarm on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in

every bedroom hallway or separate sleeping area. See “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do: A Smoke Alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to escape.

It can only sound an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

Check Your Local Building Codes: This Smoke Alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family home. It alone will not meet

requirements for boarding houses, apartment buildings, hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance Considerations” for details.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

This unit is designed to be mounted on the ceiling, or on the wall if necessary.

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS

3. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the two clusters of universal

mounting holes are aligned approximately at the 9:00 and 3:00 o’clock positions. See

image. Choose one of the three sets of holes shown, A, B or C (see image) and trace

around one of the sets. Be sure to choose a top and bottom slot on opposite sides

so you can rotate the universal mounting bracket into position later. This will make it

easier in the future to remove the mounting bracket without completely removing the

screws. WARNING! Do not install this Smoke Alarm over an existing electrical box.

Only AC powered units are intended for installation over electrical boxes.

4. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

6. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw

anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

7. Install the screws but do not tighten completely. Attach the mounting bracket by aligning

the screws in the open portion of the universal mounting slots and rotating the bracket into

place. Tighten the screws until they are snug to secure the bracket. Do not over tighten.

8. Activating the battery. Mount alarm to mounting bracket to

activate. Once unit is activated, it cannot be turned off.

NOTE: After you activate the battery, the power indicator light may flash. (If the unit alarms,

the light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.) Once

the Smoke Alarm is on the bracket, you can rotate the Alarm to adjust the alignment.

9. Test the Smoke Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”

WEEKLY TESTING

• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home.

• If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately. Products under warranty may be returned

to the manufacturer for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” for details.

• DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful

to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the Test/Silence button is the recommended way

to test this Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds

• The unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after you release the button.

• If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it again.

If it still does not alarm, replace it immediately. During testing you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. Red LED flashes rapidly.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum off any dust using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment,

and test the Smoke Alarm after cleaning. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

• When the battery becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm unit will “chirp” approximately once a minute (the Low Battery warning). This low battery

warning should last for up to 30 days, but you should replace the Smoke Alarm immediately to continue your protection.

Actual service life depends on the Smoke Alarm and the environment in which it is installed. You MUST replace the

Smoke Alarm immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. The Red LED flashes rapidly.

If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires

your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the

alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a

hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Alarms have various limitations. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 9 minutes. To use this feature, press the Test/Silence button on the cover. If the unit will not silence

and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be replaced immediately. The LED will flash every 10 seconds while in silence.

The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is

dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, the unit will stay in alarm or may re-alarm quickly. If you do not know the source

of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alarm. Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the Low Battery warning “chirp”. Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm. The Red light flashes normally, once every

6 minutes, during Low Battery Warning Silence. After time, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Deactivate the Smoke Alarm and replace it immediately.
