MacVoices 21069: Kidde Delivers High-Tech Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

<p><strong>Sharon</strong> <strong>Cooksey</strong> of <strong><a href="http://kidde.com">Kidde</a></strong> takes us through the latest features of their home smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms that can be both hardwired as well as battery operated. Sharon talks about why our escape time from a fire has dropped in recent years, how their alarms communicate with each other to give you the time you need, and why you need to replace your smoke detectors on a regular basis for reasons that you probably didn’t know about. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.smilesoftware.com" rel="noopener"><img height="73" style="border: 0pt none;" border="0" src="http://www.macvoices.com/ads/SmileLogo2010-Horz-web-500w.jpg" alt="Smile" width="303" class="aligncenter" align="middle" /></a></p> <p>This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of world-class software like PDFpen, PDFpen Pro, and TextExpander. Find out more at <a href="http://textexpander.com/podcast"><strong>TextExpander.com/podcast</strong></a> and <strong><a href="http://smilesoftware.com/podcast">SmileSoftware.com/podcast</a></strong>.</p> <!--more--> <br /> <h3>Show Notes:</h3> <p><strong>Guests:</strong></p> <p><strong>Sharon Cooksey</strong> is the Media and Growth Marketing Manager for <a href="http://kidde.com"><strong>Kidde</strong></a>.</p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3fX0SUT"><strong>Kidde P4010ACSCO-W Combination Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide  Alarm</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3mzaLZX"><strong>Kidde P4010DCS-W Wire-Free Interconnect Lithium Battery Powered (2-Pack) smoke alarm</strong></a><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>Support:</strong></p> <p>     Become a MacVoices Patron on Patreon<br />     <a href="http://macvoices.com">http://patreon.com/macvoices</a></p> <p>     Enjoy this episode?
