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 P1210 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.
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
THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS
*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 photo-
electric 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.

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM
Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of a dead or weak
battery, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover,
or installation in an improper location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as
described in “Regular Maintenance,” and then test the Smoke Alarm
again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR
SMOKE ALARMS
Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one
Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every
bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered
and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for
details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a
Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and
basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C)
and 100˚ F
(37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke
from reaching the Smoke Alarms.
More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:
On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.
Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with doors closed.
In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple
sleeping areas, install a unit in each. If a hall is over 40 feet (12
meters) long, install an Alarm at each end.
At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at bottom of
basement stairway.
Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to
state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department
for current requirements in your area. It is recommended AC or AC/DC
units be interconnected for added protection.
AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)
Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows:
A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity,
but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms,
dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace
rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached
garages.
LOCATIONS TO AVOID FOR SMOKE ALARMS
For best performance, it is recommended you AVOID installing
Smoke Alarms in these areas:
Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles
form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated
kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet
(6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace,
water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot
(6-meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller
homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be
placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The
placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at
a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce
“unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm
is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these
areas as much as possible.
In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke
into the sensing chamber of a Smoke Alarm near the kitchen.
In very damp, humid or steamy areas, or directly near bathrooms
with showers. Keep units at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from
showers, saunas, dishwashers, etc.
Where the temperatures are regularly below 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or above
100˚ F (37.8˚ C), including unheated buildings, outdoor rooms,
porches, or unfinished attics or basements.
In very dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Do not install a Smoke Alarm
directly over the stove or range. Keep laundry room Smoke Alarms
free of dust or lint.
Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas. Drafts can
blow smoke away from the unit, preventing it from reaching the
sensing chamber.
In insect infested areas. Insects can clog openings to the sensing
chamber and cause unwanted alarms.
Less than 12 inches (305mm) away from fluorescent lights.
Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.
In “dead air” spaces. “Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from
reaching the Smoke Alarm.
Avoiding Dead Air Spaces
“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarm.
To avoid dead air spaces, follow the installation recommendations
below.
On ceilings, install Smoke Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling
as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke Alarm at least 4
inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.
For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of
Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 and 12 inches (102 and
305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.
On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the first Smoke
Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured
horizontally. Additional Smoke Alarms may be required depending
on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for
details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.
SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS
This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums,
townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding
houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection
system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common
areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in
common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or
meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.
This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire
detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment
buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health
care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any
kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems
in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-
purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection
and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this
Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these
facilities.
In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/
DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/
DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local
building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling
Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or
consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements in
buildings not defined as “households”.
LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
Smoke Alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths resulting from
home fires worldwide. However, like any warning device, Smoke Alarms
can only work if they are properly located, installed, and maintained,
and if smoke reaches them. They are not foolproof.
Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape
plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from
kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and
practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping.
If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke
Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations,
make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in
the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill
while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response
to the sound of the Smoke Alarm while sleeping and to determine
whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.
Smoke Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units
cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the
wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed
correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason
(open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power
station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are
concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both
types of units.
Smoke Alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach
them. Smoke from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs, or on the other
side of closed doors may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the
alarm. That is why one unit should be installed inside each bedroom or
sleeping area—especially if bedroom or sleeping area doors are closed
at night—and in the hallway between them.
Smoke Alarms may not detect fire on another floor or area of the
home. For example, a stand-alone unit on the second floor may not
detect smoke from a basement fire until the fire spreads. This may not
give you enough time to escape safely. That is why recommended
minimum protection is at least one unit in every sleeping area, and every
bedroom on every level of your home. Even with a unit on every floor,
stand-alone units may not provide as much protection as interconnected
units, especially if the fire starts in a remote area. Some safety experts
recommend installing interconnected AC powered units with battery
back-up (see “About Smoke Alarms”) or professional fire detection
systems, so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. Interconnected
units may provide earlier warning than stand-alone units since all units
alarm when one detects smoke.
Smoke Alarms may not be heard. Though the alarm horn in this unit
meets or exceeds current standards, it may not be heard if: 1) the unit
is located outside a closed or partially closed door, 2) residents recently
consumed alcohol or drugs, 3) the alarm is drowned out by noise from
stereo, TV, traffic, air conditioner or other appliances, 4) residents are
hearing impaired or sound sleepers. Special purpose units, like those
with visual and audible alarms, should be installed for hearing impaired
residents.
Smoke Alarms may not have time to alarm before the fire itself
causesdamage,injury,ordeath,sincesmokefromsomefiresmay
not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons
smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by
violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.
Smoke Alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, Smoke
Alarms are made of components that can wear out or fail at any time.
You must test the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection.
Smoke Alarms cannot prevent or extinguish fires. They are not a
substitute for property or life insurance.
Smoke Alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced
immediately if it is not operating properly. You should always replace a
Smoke Alarm after 10 years from date of purchase. Write the purchase
date on the space provided on back of unit.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS
Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when
electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.
Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.
AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit
senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.
AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided
the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units
must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Smoke Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup
power systems: AC powered Smoke Alarms should only be operated
with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Smoke Alarm with
most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or
square wave or “quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm.
If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with
the manufacturer to verify.
Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke
Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a
visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of
the Americans With Disabilities Act. Can be interconnected so if one
unit senses smoke, all units alarm.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if
located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and
if smoke reaches them. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm
to install, refer to Chapter 2 of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Standard 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and
NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101. Local building codes
may also require specific units in new construction or in different areas
of the home.

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.

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”).
• 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.
WEEKLY TESTING
The optional locking feature is designed to prevent unauthorized removal of the alarm. It is not necessary to activate the lock in single-family
households where unauthorized alarm removal is not a concern.
Toolsyouwillneed:Needle-nosepliersorutilityknife•Standardflatheadscrewdriver
The feature uses a locking pin which is molded into the mounting bracket. Remove locking pin by using needle-
nose pliers or a utility knife.
To permanently remove the locking pin, insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock and pry the pin out of the lock.
OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURE

1. 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.
2. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill
the mounting holes.
3. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the
oval outlines you traced.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.)
