GENERAL INFORMATION FEATURES This installation instruction guide will introduce you to the that are produced when something is burning or smoldering. HELP PERS ® basic features, operations, and safety considerations of the When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specified SUPERVISED Life Alert HELP PERS combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector. Please take the time to thoroughly read concentration, the alarm siren will sound. The alarm pattern is three (3) short alarm sirens with three (3) corresponding WIRELESS COMBINATION this guide and save it for future reference. The detector is flashes of the red LED light. This pattern will repeat until SMOKE/CO DETECTOR designed to automatically and independently sense both smoke (not flame) and CO gas in an ordinary residential the smoke event is eliminated. The smoke alarm will take precedence when both smoke and CO are present. For environment. It provides an early warning of developing increased protection, Life Alert recommends that both smoke and CO events by sounding a built-in 85 decibel ionization and photoelectric detectors be installed in the alarm siren and transmitting an alarm signal to the Life Alert residence.
