Important Warning Statements
IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
AND KEEP THIS MANUAL NEAR THE ALARM FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
WARNING: BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE UNLESS BATTERY IS
PRESENT. REMOVAL OF BATTERY WILL RENDER THE SMOKE
ALARM INOPERATIVE.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV OR
MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH
TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
CAUTION: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM (85 DECIBELS),
ALWAYS STAND AN ARMS-LENGTH AWAY FROM THE UNIT WHEN
TESTING.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY
THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION
EXISTS. NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH
CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
SMOKE ALARMS ARE DEVICES THAT CAN PROVIDE EARLY WARN-
ING OF POSSIBLE FIRES AT A REASONABLE COST; HOWEVER,
ALARMS HAVE SENSING LIMITATIONS. IONIZATION SENSING
ALARMS MAY DETECT INVISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED
WITH FAST FLAMING FIRES) SOONER THAN PHOTOELECTRIC
ALARMS. PHOTOELECTRIC SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT VISIBLE
FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW SMOLDERING FIRES)
SOONER THAN IONIZATION ALARMS. HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN
DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE. FOR MAXI-
MUM PROTECTION, KIDDE RECOMMENDS THAT BOTH
IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS BE INSTALLED.

1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate
area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor
the exit path as the sleeping rooms are
usually farthest from the exit. If more than
one sleeping area exists, locate additional
alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3).
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any
stairway as stairways act like chimneys for
smoke and heat.
FIGURE 1
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor
level.
• Locate an alarm in every sleeping room.
• Locate an alarm in every room where elec-
trical appliances are operated (i.e. portable
heaters or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where
someone sleeps with the door closed. The
closed door may prevent an alarm not
located in that room from waking the
sleeper.
FIGURE 2
• Smoke, heat, and combustion products
rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.
Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling
in the center of the room places it closest
to all points in the room. Ceiling mount-
ing is preferred in ordinary residential con-
struction.
• For mobile home installation, select loca-
tions carefully to avoid thermal barriers
that may form at the ceiling. For more
details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
below.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from
the side wall (see figure 1).
FIGURE 3
ANYWHERE ALONG
THIS BOLD SURFACE
12”
(300mm)
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use
an inside wall with the top edge of the
alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a
maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceil-
ing (see figure 1).

1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hall-
way or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one
smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor
space.
• In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be
transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated
walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent
the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. If you are
not sure about the insulation in your home, or if you notice that the
outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an
inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm with the top edge
of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12”
(30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or
within 3ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA
72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1
ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be located on the high side
of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced
and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured
horizontally” (see figure 2).
• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on the
highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceiling
within 12” (305mm) vertically down from the highest point (see figure
4).
Mobile Home Installation
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy effi-
cient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOM-
MENDED LOCATIONS and Figures 1 and 2). In older mobile homes that
are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme heat or
cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly
insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can
prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In
such units, install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge
of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a maximum of 12”
(30.5cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you
notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the
alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install at least one
alarm close to the sleeping rooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE
FLOOR PLAN in figure 2.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV
OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE
EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

2. Locations To Avoid
• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start
your automobile.
• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above
100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics; this should also include
electrical boxes exposed to these environments.
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to
alarm.
• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following:
the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or
shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or
whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen
alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photo-
electric type.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable
for that purpose.

Tamper Resist Feature
Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature
This alarm has a battery carrier tamper resist feature, which
helps prevent the battery carrier from being opened. This feature
helps prevent the removal of the battery from this device (which
will render the device inoperative).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download
3. Installation Instructions
To activate the battery carrier tamper
resist feature, remove the unit from the
trim plate and locate the small cut-out in
the middle of the product label on the
back of the unit. With a small screwdriver,
or similar tool, slide the switch towards
the top of the label. (see Figure 8). The
tamper resist feature is now active and
the battery carrier can not be opened
until the tamper resist feature is deactivated.
FIGURE 8
NOTE: Before activating the battery carrier tamper resist feature,
make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that the bat-
tery carrier is properly closed. If the battery carrier tamper resist
feature is activated while the battery carrier is open, the battery
carrier will not close and the unit will be inoperable.
To deactivate the battery carrier tamper resist, in order to
change the smoke alarm battery, remove the unit from the
mounting plate, and locate the small cut-out in the middle of the
product label. Using a screwdriver, or similar tool, slide the
switch towards the bottom of the product label. The battery carri-
er can now be opened and the battery changed.
4. Operation and Testing
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries
are installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ion
ization chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will
sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is
cleared of smoke particles.
Hush® CONTROL: The Hush®feature has the capability of tem
porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 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 Hush®button on the smoke alarm
cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immedi
ately and the red LED will flash once every 10 seconds for approxi
mately 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a desensitized
condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approxi
mately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion
are still present. The Hush®feature can be used repeatedly until
the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

4. Operation and Testing
Pushing the test button on the alarm will end the Hush® period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH®
CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH® FEATURE,
IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A
SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
LED INDICATOR: This smoke alarm is equipped with a red LED
indicator with two modes of operation.
Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 40 seconds to
indicate that the smoke alarm is operating
properly.
Alarm Condition
When the alarm senses products of combus
tion and goes into alarm, the red LED will
flash rapidly (one flash per second). The rapid
flashing LED and pulsating alarm will contin
ue until the air is cleared.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it
down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm if all
the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. If no alarm
sounds, check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the
alarm circuit. If the alarm still does not sound, the unit has defec
tive batteries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test
your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible
materials and start a structure fire.
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defec-
tive alarm, and it should be returned for service (see section 12).
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
5. Nuisance Alarms
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette
smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown
directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off
the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quan-
tities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broil-
ing. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-
recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products
from the kitchen.
Model 0976 has a Hush®button that is extremely useful in a kitchen
area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information,
refer to Section 4 OPERATION AND TESTING.

5. Nuisance Alarms
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get
out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to see if
one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the alarm.
6. Maintenance
ALARM REMOVAL
To remove the alarm from the trim ring, rotate the alarm counter clock-
wise in
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
Note: If battery carrier tamper resist feature has been activated it will
need to be deactivated in order to change the battery. Refer to section 3
“Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature” for instructions.
To replace or install the batteries press down on the battery carrier and
then release to allow the carrier to pop open. The battery can then be
pulled out of the carrier. When installing a new battery into the carrier,
make sure the battery terminals are exposed and that the polarity
matches the markings printed on the battery carrier. Completely press
the battery carrier down into the alarm and release, the battery carrier
will lock into the closed position.
A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the battery carrier
from closing and result in improper alarm operation.
This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon zinc battery (alkaline and lithium
batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year
under normal operating conditions.
This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm
to “chirp” approximately every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven
(7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condi-
tion occurs.

7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies
are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially
fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too
young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot
escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possi-
ble. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or
assisted escape or rescue would be necessary.
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible
fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated
with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric
sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow
smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection,
Kidde recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be
installed.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if the
AC power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire or an open
fuse.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and
the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chim-
neys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a differ-
ent floor.
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different
floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be
installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early
warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy.
Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect
their lives and property.

8. Good Safety Habits
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two
(2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a
rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing every-
one what to do in case of fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire
occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train
them to leave your home when they hear it
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at
night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake when it
sounds. They must wake up in order to execute the escape plan.
Practice allows all occupants to test your plan before an emergency.
You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know
what to do.
• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and
in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extin-
guisher prior to an emergency.
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleep-
ing individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those
who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to pro-
tect against fire as noted by the NFPA and UL. For instance:
- Smoking in bed.
- Leaving children unsupervised.
- Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
- Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for
example, when a person's clothes catch fire while cooking.
- Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due
to a closed door or other obstruction.
- Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's
egress is blocked even with properly located detectors
9. NRC Information
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioactive ele-
ment in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisible
combustion products. The radioactive element is safely contained in the
chamber and requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke alarm
meets or exceeds all government standards. It is manufactured and distrib-
uted under license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

10. NFPA Required Protection
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following
information:
Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards
for a specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station
smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms
(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft)
of any door to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel
(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements
(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility),
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics
(5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite
(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility)
Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms
might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated
by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this
reason, the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased pro-
tection is recommended. The additional areas include the basement, bed-
rooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected
by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens,
attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended,
because these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in
improper operation.
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATE FIRE MARSHAL)
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioac-
tive element in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible
and invisible combustion products. The radioactive element is safely
contained in the chamber and requires no adjustments or mainte-
nance. This smoke alarm meets or exceeds all government stan-
dards. It is manufactured and distributed under license from the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
