BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT!
Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to
important operating instructions or to
potentially hazardous situations. Pay special
attention to these items.
CAUTION!
This combination Smoke and Carbon
Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms.
The CO alarm is not designed to detect fire
or any other gas. It will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas. The Smoke Alarm will
only indicate the presence of smoke that
reaches the sensor. The smoke alarm will
not sense gas, heat or flames.
IMPORTANT!
This smoke/CO alarm is approved for use in
single-family residences. It is NOT designed for
marine or RV use.
IMPORTANT!
This device is not intended to alert hearing
impaired residents. Smoke alarms specifically
designed for the hearing impaired, which feature
devices like flashing strobe lights, are available
to alert the hearing impaired in case of fire.
WARNING!
This smoke/CO alarm cannot operate
without a working battery. Removing the
battery for any reason, or failing to replace
the battery at the end of its service life,
removes your protection.
WARNING!
NEVER ignore any alarm. Refer to Chapter 3
for more information on how to respond to an
alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury
or death.
WARNING!
The silence feature is for your convenience
only and will not correct a problem. See
Chapter 3 for details on using the silence
feature.
WARNING!
Test this smoke/CO alarm once a week. If it
ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced
immediately! If the alarm is not working
properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.
CAUTION!
Do not paint over the smoke/CO alarm. Paint
may clog the openings to the sensing
chamber and prevent the sensors from
operating properly.
