Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
It is recommended to test your First Alert alarms once a week using the test button to ensure the unit is functioning correctly and the batteries are active.
A chirping sound typically indicates a low battery or that the alarm has reached the end of its life. Check the battery first; if the unit is older than its rated life (often 7 or 10 years), replace the entire unit immediately.
For minimum coverage, install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, inside every bedroom, and outside every sleeping area. Avoid installing them near kitchens or bathrooms to prevent nuisance alarms from cooking or steam.
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive to fast-flaming fires, while photoelectric technology is better at detecting smoldering fires. First Alert recommends dual-sensor alarms or a mix of both types for maximum protection.
