The Lifetone HL has a visual signal on the backlit display that flashes the word FIRE. In a darkened room, the flashing display is another form of sensory stimulation to “break through” the fogginess of sleep. The Lifetone HL comes with a small bed shaker that will vibrate strongly when the alarm is triggered. Connect it for vibration notification. Lifetone HLAC151 is not a smoke detector and does not detect smoke. Instead, it detects the alarm sounds made by smoke alarms and smoke alarm systems.
