User questions & answers

Question:	The description says: “Visible low battery indicator helps locate chirping unit”...is this true? Had a helluva time trying to locate a chirping unit
Answer:	Tried fitting my shooting glasses in the the earmuffs.. You can set them in there but cannot put them in there if they have their own protective case. The case is nice and the earmuffs fit in there well.
Question:	Can ionization detectors be disposed of in regular trash? One of the videos said they are radioactive
Answer:	These fit full size nonelectric so any of the Walkers should fit with room to spare
Question:	Can these replace model
Answer:	Yes. I use them with the Howard Leight by Honeywell R-01902 Impact Pro Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff. The are made for this model.
Question:	Do these come within date? I don't want to buy if it will be out of date on the back
Answer:	Yes, I have not seen a head too large to fit these cups. Really it is more about the size of your ears. Folks with larger ears do not always fit well into smaller cups. Generally it is better to use a more rectangular cup so tht the ear lobe does not interfere with the ear seal. The Gold II 30 would be your best bet for indoor shooting. I would always double plug for added protection. With the great sound in the Pro Ears you can still hear clearly.

Kidde Monoxide Alarm.

From the Manufacturer

The leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in North America, Carbon Monoxide is odorless, tasteless and invisible. It is a silent killer. Kidde CO alarms include the most accurate sensing technology available, the patented Nighthawk electrochemical sensor. This unit combines a Carbon Monoxide and Ionization Smoke Alarm, providing two important safety devices in a single unit. This alarm includes a voice warning system that announces "Fire, Carbon Monoxide, Low Battery or Smart Hush Activation." The voice alarm eliminates any confusion and clearly warns you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger, or if your battery is in need of replacement. This unit is hardwired and will work with many interconnected systems. This combination alarm has battery backup, protecting you and your family even during a power outage when many incidences occur. Install at least one CO alarm on every floor and in sleeping areas. Make sure CO and Smoke alarms are at least 15 feet away from cooking or heating appliances to prevent false alarms. Replace CO alarms every 5 to 7 years to benefit from the latest technology upgrades. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles associated with fast flaming fires sooner than Photoelectric alarms. Studies show both types will effectively detect either type of fire. For optimal protection, install both smoke alarm technologies in your home.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the manufacture date on these items
Answer:	Hello. Yes, but not the way you mean. When the alarms go off, there is always one alarm going off and setting off all of the others. This alarm will have a green light flashing every second as well as the red light. You have to identify that alarm and either put it in HUSH mode or unplug it and take it down to stop the others. This is intentional so that if you are not leaving the house then you are identifying and investigating where the smoke situation is and if there is danger. The HUSH mode will make the alarm require more smoke to go off and for a small amount of smoke will stop it for about 8 minutes If there is too much smoke, the HUSH mode will not stop the alarm for going off.
Question:	If the alarm goes off, how can you tell whether it's due to CO or fire if there is no voice alert
Answer:	Hello. Yes, this alarm comes with a wiring harness connector.
Question:	Because its a combo alarm where is the best place to install it since smoke rises and carbon monoxide doesn't
Answer:	Hello. The answer is no, the battery is only a temporary back up. If you want an alarm that is battery only, you will want our KN-COPE-D.
Question:	Why does this model contain the radioactive part? I am sure you are going to tell me that it is a trace amount and that it has all approvals
Answer:	Hello. When plugged in AC power, it is supposed to have a solid green LED light. When running on battery alone, it should have a green light that flickers every 60 seconds. If this is not what is happening, call us when you are on location with a ladder at 1-800-880-6788 so we can figure out what is going on and how we can resolve this.
Question:	When these are interconnected with other units, can hushing one of them hush all of them? Some of mine are in places that are hard to get to
Answer:	I paid FOR for 6 and only got 4. It’s listed as 6. I had to buy two more from Home Depot. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.
Question:	does it come with the hardwire connector
Answer:	Does not connect to hard wire. Only battery
Question:	Do you have to hardwire it in? Can it run on just the battery
Answer:	I just checked 2 of them, and am unable to locate that information.
Question:	How do you tell if it is working properly. Is it supposed to have a constant light
Answer:	The back cover comes off install battery and replace

User questions & answers

Question:	What's required to turn off a false alarm
Answer:	NRR-noise reduction rating.have not tried them in a work situation but u can put these on have a great conversation with someone and the moment a loud noise like a gun shot or loud smack the world is all quiet I will tell u they work great for shooting me and my son and girlfriend where them while shooting and you really regret the moment a gun goes off and u don't have them on!!! The Howard lieghts are probably even quiter though
Question:	Does this replace firex model 120-1182? will it fit on the same mounting ring as that model and use the same wiring connector
Answer:	I got the full size version on Mar 4 2020 and it has no input jack.
Question:	Got 2 answers, both rectangular & triangle!!?? it can't be both! which is it
Answer:	Yes. The product states any noise over 85dbs will activate the headphones. The average wife nagging levels range from 87dbs to 120dbs (in extreme circumstances). Unfortunately this will also blockout the t.v. until the nagging stops. Reducing the wife nagging time ( or WNT) can be reduced by simply nodding and stating “yes dear” in a calm and clear voice.
Question:	Is the color really, as the description states, "Brick-red?" Seriously
Answer:	This is just the case glasses and ear muffs sold separately.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many come in a 4 pack? It is cheaper to just buy 1 pack 4 times.... which doesn’t make sense
Answer:	No it will not. The diameter is too narrow to fit a 18650 in the LE model.
Question:	What is the date on the current units for sale
Answer:	Batteries are included
Question:	Can I reuse i4618 harness for i4618AC
Answer:	Considering CA, anything made by man probably. Plastic, aluminum, batteries containing chemicals, as long as you don't eat it, you will probably live a long life.
Question:	Does it include 4 9V batteries
Answer:	No they don't. You have to spin the volume control to off.
