The designer chose this shape because birds have always been known for their warning calls. It is a well-known fact that that birds warn each other of danger by calling loudly. In the previous century, miners used to take canaries in small cages with them into the mine, because these birds are sensitive to poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide. These gases are both colourless and odourless and can hardly be sensed by man. As soon as the canaries showed even the slightest sign of distress (by no longer singing and chirping) it was a clear signal to evacuate the mine as quickly as possible. The bird's presence gave the miners both a secure and pleasant feeling.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgrZq8ce_Fi_cV8qgSh1ZvMRz_UDSnpcI11JZTcRvIt9O43VbZOaSirqqPCTRyLOTjykCP9W8ag9_n9csRk2vD02xrkE0nmPldy52tlaTNsLk2kFBrwhZ6_lPsBZXELSUev8PP8jvewc/s1600/chk5.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629617729336726834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgrZq8ce_Fi_cV8qgSh1ZvMRz_UDSnpcI11JZTcRvIt9O43VbZOaSirqqPCTRyLOTjykCP9W8ag9_n9csRk2vD02xrkE0nmPldy52tlaTNsLk2kFBrwhZ6_lPsBZXELSUev8PP8jvewc/s400/chk5.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 198px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnr2xKyYW7U76lom-cL91EdthO65FCSUCC1vBNbv-p7K7xKiWrcwSCOo4O6IS3OaK6UoIXA8dxe04RyuWyd9UXVmEvDkDyAq8yHe_2HhtST0EowDocNKPyG57U1DZUhFa8PpX94waShY/s1600/chk6.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629617671748397698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnr2xKyYW7U76lom-cL91EdthO65FCSUCC1vBNbv-p7K7xKiWrcwSCOo4O6IS3OaK6UoIXA8dxe04RyuWyd9UXVmEvDkDyAq8yHe_2HhtST0EowDocNKPyG57U1DZUhFa8PpX94waShY/s400/chk6.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 198px;" /></a><br /><br />The Chick-a-Dee ® takes its name and appearance from the American Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapilla). This name is a tribute to its warning call, the phonetic Chickadee sound. At the smallest threat, the bird calls chick-a-dee-dee, and in more serious circumstances, the call becomes a loud dee-dee-dee sound. As soon as smoke is detected a 85 db alarm signal is activated. The alarm signals that the battery is dead by playing by playing the alarm signal. Under normal conditions, a control light flashes once a minute. The Chick-a-Dee can be tested by pressing the test button. The batteries are easy to replace.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEighIu9D_CJrYhhLTo6BWFlv63lvkzAr21khpih9JhpqSh-D_KXzANOdbWN4CI0f-qtQepj9z72RgyDLpZaFTjmR1xUMO9YSfMMUJQxhlr8xkySqbRKAcW52shFsBAh8TRujRUul_kwG20/s1600/chickadee_left1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629621728287950162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEighIu9D_CJrYhhLTo6BWFlv63lvkzAr21khpih9JhpqSh-D_KXzANOdbWN4CI0f-qtQepj9z72RgyDLpZaFTjmR1xUMO9YSfMMUJQxhlr8xkySqbRKAcW52shFsBAh8TRujRUul_kwG20/s400/chickadee_left1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 531px;" /></a><br /><br />The Chick-a-Dee smoke detector was specially designed for the Baby and Kids market.
