What appears to be a silver whistle/siren device is at the top of the canister. The top half of the canister is white while the bottom half is orange. Featured on one side of the canister, near the top, is the black and red text "Unit-guard/INSTANT fire or heat DETECTION/FIRE ALARM," which is followed by the white text "FIRE ALARM/WILL SAVE/YOUR LIFE/& PROPERTY." The metal shield has a small hole in the back, which is meant for the mounting clip that connects the fire alarm to the wall.
