How to distinguish between CO Alarm and Smoke Alarm warnings
The CO Alarm has a distinctive on-off sound of 3 pulses, followed by a pause as
compared with a typical Smoke Alarm which has a rapid pulsing sound.
In addition, when your CO Alarm detects CO the red light will be flashing.
Testing both your CO Alarm and Smoke Alarms weekly will help you and your family
to clearly distinguish between them in an emergency.
