10/ Testing the device
When the device is operating normally, you can test it using the TEST/SILENCE button; when you run a test, you
should hear the alarm and see the red ALARM light flashing. You must press and hold down the TEST/SILENCE
button. After the 8th sound, the device will emit the normal alarm volume (> 85dB). Release the button to stop the
test.
Note: when the TEST/SILENCE button is pressed down, the alarm will ring and the red light will flash. This does
not indicate the presence of CO.
Test the device once a week! If the appliance does not work properly, replace it immediately. Also test the
device when you change the batteries.
11/ Memory of the device
If the device has been triggered during the last 48 hours and the PPM concentration is < 20 PPM, the display will
show «AL» and the red ALARM light will flash every 40 sec.
After pressing the TEST/SILENCE button or after 48 hours, the unit will reset the memory function and return to
normal operation.
5. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF
CAUTION: if your detector goes off, it means there is carbon monoxide (CO) present, which could kill you.
- Stay calm and open all doors and windows to increase ventilation. Turn off all fuel-burning appliances and turn off
the gas supply.
- If the alarm continues to ring, evacuate the premises. Leave doors and windows open and do not enter
until the alarm has stopped. In a multi-storey building, ensure that all occupants are alerted.
- Call the emergency medical services to look after anyone suffering from the effects of carbon monoxide, if necessary.
- Call a competent technician to repair the faulty installation. Do not return to the premises if the problem is not
fixed. Do not stand too close to the alarm when it rings; it is designed to wake a person in an emergency, but
prolonged exposure can be harmful to your hearing.
