WARNING:

Actuation of your CO and Gas alarm indicates the presence of

Carbon Monoxide (CO) or explosive Gas which can KILL YOU.

When the CO and Gas alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud alarm pattern and display the concentra- tion of CO in parts per million (PPM). The alarm pattern is 4 short beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short beeps repeating. (Note: When the unit is disconnected from the 120V power supply and is on battery backup, the alarm pattern will continue for the first 4 minutes after detecting CO and then the cycle will repeat every one minute). Know how to respond to a CO or Gas emergency. Periodically review this user’s guide and discuss with all members of your family.

4)After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a quali- fied 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 manufacturer’s 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.
