Kidde RF-SM-DC User Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm, part of the
Kidde Wireless System. It is an important part of your family’s home safety plan. You
can trust this product to provide the highest level of quality and performance. We
know you expect nothing less when the lives of your family are at stake. This alarm, in
combination with other Kidde Wireless products, provides you with an interconnected
alarm system without having the inconvenience or extensive labor of rewiring your
home. An interconnected alarm system provides an earlier warning to smoke or fire by
linking alarms so that when one unit sounds, it will trigger all other units to sound,
thereby giving a family more time to escape.  Kidde estimates that nearly 100 million
U.S. homes either do not have interconnected smoke alarms, or have limited coverage.
For homes that do have interconnected systems, this battery powered alarm can pro-
vide additional fire protection in other areas of the home. 
Some of the features that are included in this unit are:

• Battery-powered interconnect to allow for placement of alarms where wiring is not

accessible.

• Smart HUSH

TM

emergency event (see section 4).  

• Remote HUSH

• Remote Push To Test prompts every Kidde Wireless device to perform a self-diagno-

sis. Simply press the button on any Kidde Wireless unit to activate(see section 4). 

• Internal timer reminds you to replace your unit after 10 years to ensure the most

reliable protection (see section 6).

• Low Battery HUSH

®

feature allows you to stop the smoke alarm from producing a

low battery warning for up to twelve hours, in order to maintain protection without
having to replace the battery at inconvenient times.
