CO Alarm sounds frequently even though no high
levels of CO are revealed in an investigation.
The CO Alarm may be improperly located. Refer to
“Where to Install This Alarm” for details.
Relocate your Alarm. If frequent alarms continue,
have home rechecked for potential CO problems.
You may be experiencing an intermittent CO

Smoke
/CO
Alar
ms cannot work without power.
Battery operated units cannot
work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of
batteries ar
e used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot
work if the AC power is cut of
f for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure
along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical
wir
es, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power,
install both types of units.
This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach
the sensors.
It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may
be pr
esent in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at
which CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom doors are usually closed
at night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and
Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedr
oom
and in the hallway between them.
This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level of
the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor
, may not
sense smoke or CO in the basement. For this r
eason, one alarm device may
not give adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one
alarm device in every sleeping ar
ea, every bedroom, and on every level of
your home. Some experts r
ecommend battery powered Smoke and CO
Alarms be used in conjunction with interconnected AC powered Smoke
Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms” for details.
Smoke/CO Alar
ms may not be heard.
The alarm hor
n loudness meets or
exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet
(3 meters). However, if the
Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the bedr
oom, it may not wake up a
sound sleeper or one who has r
ecently used drugs or has been drinking
alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly
open. Even persons who ar
e awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound
is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise fr
om traffic, stereo, radio,
television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons
fr
om hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people
who are hearing impaired.
The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes
damage, injur
y, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach
the unit immediately
. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed,
children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions
r
esulting from escaping gas.
This Smoke/CO Alar
m is not a substitute for life insurance.
Though this
Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of
smoke, BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will
pr
otect lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
This Smoke/CO Alar
m has a limited life.
Although this Smoke/CO Alarm
and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be
as r
eliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you
must test this device weekly
. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is
not operating properly.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this
Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that r
eaches
the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a
remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.
