WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless, 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
MEDIUM EXPOSURE
Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
EXTREME EXPOSURE
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that victims are aware they are not well, but they become so disoriented that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected.
Your combination smoke/CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas surrounding its sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual warnings for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS
Never disconnect or remove the battery in a combination Smoke/CO alarm to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically sense when the level of CO in the air falls below the danger level. You should stay outside the residence in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to awaken a person in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing.
