manual abstract
• In areas where temperature is colder than 40° F (4° C) or hotter than 100° F (38° C). These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages. • In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors. • Outside the Mobile Home. • In direct sunlight. • This CO Alarm is designed for use inside a single-family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in common lobbies, hallways, or basements of multi-family buildings unless working CO Alarms are also installed in each family living unit. CO Alarms in common areas may not be heard from inside individual family living units. • This CO Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete detection systems in places which house many people, like hotels or dormitories, unless a CO Alarm is also placed in each unit. • DO NOT use this CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, special-purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes. This CO Alarm is specifically designed for residential use, and may not provide adequate protection in non-residential applications. IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it! IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS: 1. Operate the Test/Silence button. 2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here: 3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition. 4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here: “ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR” If you hear the alarm horn and the Red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT disconnect the battery from the CO Alarm! Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of CO Alarms" for details. USING THE SILENCE FEATURE • The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death. • NEVER remove the batteries from your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use the silence feature. Removing the batteries removes your protection! See “If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details on responding to an alarm. The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While the alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO. When CO reaches alarm levels the alarm will sound— repeating horn pattern: 4 beeps, a pause, 4 beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the horn is silent. The initial Silence cycle will last approximately 4 minutes. NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous —or start rising higher—the horn will start sounding again. While the detector is silenced: If the CO Alarm... This means... Is silent for only 4 minutes, then CO levels are still potentially starts sounding loudly—4 beeps, dangerous. pause, 4 beeps, pause If the CO Alarm... This means... Remains silent after you pressed CO levels are dropping. the Test/Silence button SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours.
