1.0WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison. Even low

levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with all members of the household:

•MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms), giddiness

•MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate

•EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death

Many reported cases of CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building/automobile or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected.

Your CO detector is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. (DO NOT put your detector next to the vehicle’s tailpipe. It may damage the detector permanently.)

A CO detector is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for fire alarms, smoke alarms, or other combustible gas alarms. This carbon monoxide detector is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion.

CAUTION: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas at a higher concentration than at the detector’s location; therefore, immediately get fresh air.

WARNING: This product is not designed to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical problems may consider using detection devices that provide audible and visual signals for CO concentrations under 30 PPM.
