End of Battery Life:
When the battery has run down the unit will "Beep" once every 30 seconds. The
green LED will continue to flash every 30 seconds.
Alarm Memory Feature: If you leave the property for a long period and in
your absence the alarm has activated, the unit will memorize the activation.
On returning to the property press the "Test" button for several seconds,
the Red LED will flash 3 times every 30 seconds if the alarm has activated in
your absence. The property should be immediately ventilated and the cause
of the alarm investigated and rectified. Pressing the "Test" button again will
return the unit to normal operation.
End of Sensor Life:
When the sensor comes to the end of its life, the Yellow LED will flash
continuously and the alarm will make a sound.
WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS
If the alarm sounds:
•
immediately open windows and doors to ventilate the property.
•
call the Emergency Services (e.g. 999 in the UK, 112 in Europe).
•
if possible, turn off and stop using any fuelled appliances.
•
evacuate the property.
•
do not re-enter the property until the cause of CO has been detected and
isolated, and the alarm has returned to normal operation.
•
seek medical assistance for anyone suffering from, or suspected to be
suffering from the effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
•
do not use fuelled appliances until they have been assessed and cleared by
a competent professional.
CO SAFETY TIPS
Have any heating systems, vents, chimneys and flues inspected annually by a
competent professional.
Always install appliances according to the manufacturer's instructions and
adhere to local building regulations.
Most appliances should be installed by a professional and inspected after
installation. Regularly examine vents, chimneys and flues for improper
connections, rust/stains and cracks.
Verify the color of the flame on pilot lights and burners is blue. A yellow or
orange flame is a sign that the fuel is not burning completely.
Teach everyone what the alarm alerts are and how to respond to them.
