IF YOUR CO AND GAS ALARM SOUNDS
WHAT TO DO IF CARBON MONOXIDE IS DETECTED:
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!
Some individuals are more sensitive to CO than others, including people with cardiac or respiratory
problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers or elderly people can be more quickly and
severely affected by CO. Members of sensitive populations should consult their doctors for advice
on taking additional precautions.
If you hear the alarm horn sound 4 beeps, a 5 second pause (and then repeat),
carbon monoxide has been detected. Evacuate everyone from the building.
1. Operate 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/window. Do a head count to check
that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open
door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been
aired out and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3
and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning
equipment and appliances and inspect for proper operation 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 manufacturer(s) directly for more information about CO safety and
this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an
attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of your local emergency
service here:
