The Kidde 10Y29 is a lithium battery-operated optical smoke alarm designed to provide safety protection in residential settings. It features an integrated non-replaceable sealed battery that powers the unit for its ten-year lifespan, eliminating the need for user battery maintenance or replacement.
This manual details recommended locations for installation, such as bedrooms and stairways, while advising against placement near kitchens, bathrooms, or areas with extreme temperatures. Key operational features include a Hush control to silence nuisance alarms temporarily and an LED indicator that signals standby status, alarm activation, end-of-life warnings, and low battery conditions.
The alarm is powered by a permanently sealed lithium battery that supplies power for the life of the alarm, which is ten years.
Press the Hush button on the cover to temporarily desensitize the alarm circuit for approximately 10 minutes.
