unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
Young children and household pets are typically the first affected.
e. When flu-like symptoms with fever are experienced, ensure that the possibility of
CO poisoning is not automatically ruled out. Many cases of reported carbon
monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the
building or calling for assistance.
Action to Take When Alarm Sounds
WARNING: Actuation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide
(CO) which can KILL YOU.
If temporal 4 alarm signal sounds:
1. Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open window. Check
that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises or move
away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders
have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in
its normal condition.
2. Call your emergency local service Tel. No. ........................ (fire department
or 911).
In case harmful levels of CO gas are detected, your detector will go into continuous
full alarm. Try to take the following necessary actions immediately:
1. Push the detector Test/Hush switch to silence the alarm. Warning: Never remove
the battery to silence the alarm. Removing the battery removes your protection!
Pushing the Test/Hush button mutes the alarm for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the
alarm resumes if CO levels remain high. Call your emergency service. Please
write down the telephone numbers:
Emergency Services:

2. Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by opening door/window. Do a head
count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor
move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders
have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in nor-
mal condition.
3. After following steps 1 - 3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period,
repeat steps 1 - 3 and call a qualified technician (Tel. No. ........................) to
investigate for sources of CO gas from fuel burning equipment and appliances,
and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified dur-
ing this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any com-
bustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer
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.
WARNING: CO gas can be extremely fatal and can come from several possible
sources. This detector only indicates the presence of CO gas near the sensor. CO
gas may be present in other areas of the premises.
Action to be Taken After the Problem has been Corrected
Once the CO gas presence in the premises has been corrected, the detector's alarm
should be off. After waiting for 10 minutes, push the Test/Hush button to verify that
the detector is functioning properly.

Warnings and Limitations

This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is
not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Admin-
istration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
CAUTION: The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at
the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide
l
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.
The alarm, including the sensor, is not to be located within 1.5m (5 feet) of any
l
cooking appliance.
The detector may not emit an alarm at low carbon monoxide levels. The Occu-
l
pational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) has established that continuous
exposure levels of 50 ppm should not be exceeded in an 8 hour period. Individuals
with medical conditions may consider more sensitive detection devices.
The CO gas detector is not suitable as a smoke detector or fire detector. This
l
detector is not suitable to install in hazardous locations as defined in the National
Electrical Code.
Carbon monoxide must reach the detector for proper performance of CO gas detec-
l
tion. The detector may not protect people who are at special risk from carbon
