First Alert Precision Detection Wireless Talking Smoke/CO Alarm, 2-pack
2-Pack First Alert Precision Detection Wireless Smoke and CO Alarms with Voice and Location Alerts
Protect your home against both smoke and carbon monoxide with this 2-pack of First Alert Precision Detection combination alarms. Each battery-powered unit features advanced smoke-detection technology, carbon monoxide detection, wireless interconnection, and voice alerts that identify both the type and programmed location of a potential threat.
When one compatible interconnected alarm detects danger, all connected alarms sound. Because no household electrical wiring is required, the alarms offer flexible installation in locations permitted by the owner’s manual and applicable local codes.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Protection
Each unit combines smoke and carbon monoxide detection in one alarm, reducing the need to install separate devices in the same approved location.
Advanced Precision Detection technology is designed to improve warning performance for common residential fires while reducing nuisance alarms. The carbon monoxide sensor monitors for dangerous CO concentrations and activates the alarm according to its certified response parameters.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. Follow the placement, testing, and replacement instructions in the owner’s manual to help ensure proper operation.
Voice and Location Alerts
The voice alert tells occupants whether the detected threat is smoke or carbon monoxide and announces its programmed location. Up to 11 location labels are available, helping distinguish where the danger was first detected.
Selectable locations may be used for areas such as bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, or basements, depending on the options provided by the alarm.
The “11 locations” feature refers to programmable voice-location choices. It does not indicate that only 11 alarms can be interconnected.
Wireless Whole-Home Interconnection
Compatible alarms communicate wirelessly without an interconnect wire. If one connected alarm detects smoke or carbon monoxide, every properly paired alarm in the network sounds.
This helps extend warnings beyond the room where the hazard originates. The exact number and models of compatible alarms are not specified in the supplied product information; consult the owner’s manual before adding other devices to the network.
Wireless interconnection does not mean Wi-Fi or app connectivity. Smartphone alerts, remote monitoring, and smart-home integration are not specified.
Battery-Powered Installation
Each alarm operates using two AA batteries. Four batteries are included in the package, providing two for each alarm.
Because the alarms are battery powered, no 120 V hardwired electrical connection is required. They must still be mounted and positioned according to the owner’s manual and applicable local requirements.
Test, Silence, and Status Warnings
A one-touch button provides convenient testing and eligible alarm silencing. Integrated alerts notify users when battery power is low and when the alarm reaches the end of its service life.
Optional locking features can help discourage unauthorized removal of the alarm or its batteries. Refer to the manual for setup and use instructions.
Safety Standards
The alarms are listed as meeting:
-
UL 217 8th Edition smoke-alarm standards
-
UL 2034 4th Edition carbon-monoxide alarm standards
Product certification does not automatically mean every installation complies with local residential or municipal requirements. Alarm quantity, positioning, spacing, and replacement rules vary by jurisdiction.

Why It Stands Out
These alarms combine two forms of hazard detection with spoken threat identification and wireless whole-home notification. Instead of relying only on a siren, the voice alert identifies whether the danger is smoke or carbon monoxide and announces the programmed location.
Battery-powered installation eliminates the need for AC wiring, while included batteries, low-battery warnings, end-of-life notification, and optional locking features support convenient ongoing use.
Installation and Safety
-
Read the complete owner’s manual before installation.
-
Install alarms only in approved locations.
-
Follow all local fire, building, and carbon-monoxide alarm requirements.
-
Install two AA batteries in each alarm.
-
Program the appropriate voice location for each unit.
-
Pair the alarms according to the wireless interconnection instructions.
-
Test each alarm immediately after installation.
-
Confirm that all interconnected alarms sound during network testing.
-
Test alarms regularly as directed by First Alert.
-
Replace batteries when the low-battery warning occurs or as instructed.
-
Never remove batteries to silence an active alarm without confirming there is no emergency.
-
Do not paint, cover, or obstruct the alarms.
-
Replace each alarm when its end-of-life warning activates.
-
If a smoke or CO alarm sounds, move to fresh air or safety as appropriate and contact emergency services.
-
Never ignore a carbon monoxide warning.
-
Smoke and CO alarms help reduce risk but cannot prevent every incident or guarantee escape.
