This guide is for homeowners seeking enhanced, whole-home fire safety. The BLACK+DECKER Connected Smoke Alarm - RF10-PRO offers a key benefit of wirelessly interlinking up to 20 alarms for simultaneous alerts. A potential caveat is that it works exclusively with other BLACK+DECKER CONNECTED alarms, requiring a commitment to their ecosystem. This system features a 10-year sealed lithium battery, a high-performance optical sensor for reliable smoke detection, and an easy-to-use test button with reduced false alarms.

You can wirelessly link up to 20 BLACK+DECKER CONNECTED alarms using the RF10-PRO technology.
The alarm comes with a sealed, tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery that lasts the entire operational life of the unit. No battery changes are required during its lifespan.
This alarm features a high-performance optical sensor, which is particularly effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires.
No, this alarm is designed to work exclusively with other BLACK+DECKER CONNECTED alarms that use RF10-PRO technology.
It is ideal for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. Avoid installing it in kitchens or near bathrooms where steam or cooking fumes might cause false alarms.
The alarm memory indicator flashes for 72 hours after an alarm event, helping you identify which unit was activated first.
When the alarm reaches the end of its 10-year lifespan, it will indicate when it needs replacing, and the entire unit must be replaced with a new one.
This usually indicates a low battery or a fault. Since the battery is sealed, a persistent chirp after initial setup may indicate the alarm has reached the end of its 10-year lifespan and needs replacement.
Ensure the alarm is properly installed and the battery is active. If the unit is new, double-check that any protective film or battery tab has been removed. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty and require replacement.
Verify that all alarms are within RF range of each other and have been correctly paired according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check that all units are powered and functioning individually. Consider repositioning alarms if interference is suspected.
While designed to reduce false alarms, avoid placing the smoke alarm in areas with high humidity (bathrooms), excessive steam (near showers), or near cooking appliances. Ensure the alarm is clean and free from dust or insect infiltration.
Setup: Installation is straightforward. Use the provided screws to mount the base plate to the ceiling or wall. Align the alarm with the base and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. To link alarms, follow the specific pairing instructions provided in the user manual for the RF10-PRO technology. Ensure all connected alarms are within RF range of each other.
Compatibility: This alarm is designed to work exclusively with other BLACK+DECKER CONNECTED alarms that utilize RF10-PRO technology. Compatible models include other BLACK+DECKER CONNECTED Smoke Alarms (BD/BOP/RF10-PRO), Heat Alarms (BD/BHE/RF10-PRO), and Carbon Monoxide Detectors (BD/BCO/RF10-PRO, BD/BCU/RF10-PRO).
Care: To maintain optimal performance, dust the alarm cover regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Do not use cleaning sprays or solvents directly on the alarm. Test the alarm monthly using the large test button.
