HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM
R
ead “Where To Install CO Alarms” before starting.
Be
fore you start installation,
fi
nd the pair of self-adhesive labels included
with this CO Alarm. On each label write in the phone number of your emer-
g
ency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. Place one
la
bel near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you
plan to go if the alarm sounds.
IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide
(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds,
you must not ignore it!
IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:
1. Operate the Test/Silence button.
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the
number of your local emergency service here:
__________________________________________________________________
3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.
Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-
enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the
emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to inves-
t
igate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and
i
nspe
ct f
or pr
ope
r ope
ration of this equipment. If problems are identified
during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any
combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the
manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more
i
n
f
ormation about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or
ad
jace
nt to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance
technician here:

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of CO Alarms"
for details.
USING THE SILENCE FEATURE
•
The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not
correct a C
O problem. Always check your home for a potential
problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or
dea
th.
•
NEVER remove the batteries from your CO Alarm to silence the
horn. Use the silence feature. Removing the batteries removes
y
our protection! See “If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details on
respondi
ng to an alarm.
T
he Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm
horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While
t
he alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO.
T
o Activate the Silence Feature Manually:
P
ress and hold the Test/Silence button until the horn is silent.
T

t
he cover of the CO Alarm and push the VOLUME or CHANNEL button. Hold
t
he button down for at least 5 seconds.
Once you activate the Silence Feature: the Silence cycle will last
approximately 4 minutes.
NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present
C
O levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially danger-
ous—or s
tart rising higher—the horn will start sounding again.
W
hi
le the detector is silenced:
If the CO Alarm...
Is silent for only 4 minutes, then
starts sounding loudly—4 beeps,
p
ause, 4 beeps, pause
This means...
CO levels are still potentially
dangerous.
If the C
O Alarm...
Remains silent af
ter you pressed
the Test/Silence button
T
his means...
CO levels are dropp
ing.
