Important Notes

Ensure your home’s Wi-Fi network operates on 2.4 GHz frequency; this device does not support 5 GHz networks. The Kidde app must be used to receive full smart features; standalone operation still includes audible alarm and battery backup.

Batteries are included and should be replaced annually or as prompted by the device. Regular testing of the alarm button is recommended to confirm proper function.

This product does not include professional monitoring services; alerts are sent directly to personal devices via the app. Always install according to manufacturer guidelines and local building codes.
