• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure
the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good
operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does
not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not
sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the
other side of a closed door or on a different floor.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each
sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by
providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their
lives and property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the air for the
presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of
CO present, and when there are low levels of CO present
over a longer period of time. When a CO condition match-
es either of these situations, the alarm/voice message warn-
ing system will sound, and be accompanied by the flashing
red LED light. The carbon monoxide sensor uses an electro-
chemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monox-
ide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warn-
ing devices which provide audible and visual signals for car-
bon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.
