Where to Install Your CO Alarm

Your Carrier CO alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and liv- ing areas. It is recommended that you install a Carrier CO alarm on each level of a multi-level home. You may use the number and location of smoke alarms installed in your home according to current building code requirements as a guide to the location of your Carrier CO alarm(s).

WHEN CHOOSING YOUR INSTALLATION LOCATIONS, MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR THE ALARM FROM ALL SLEEPING AREAS. IF YOU INSTALL ONLY ONE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IN YOUR HOME, INSTALL THE ALARM NEAR BED- ROOMS, NOT IN THE BASEMENT OR FURNACE ROOM.

Recommended Locations

BEDROOM

Two labels have been provided with important information on what to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency service provider in the space provided. Place one label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door or win- dow.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monox- ide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas.

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com- ponents in this alarm. Please see the next section describing where NOT to install this alarm.
