WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS
Never disconnect your CO and Gas Alarm to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically sense when the level of CO and natural gas 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.

Leave your CO and Gas Alarm plugged in
This Alarm is intended for use in a standard, unswitched 120VAC wall outlet. It is not intended for use in extension cords, power strips or outlets controlled by a switch or dimmer. These may not provide continuous power to the unit. When fully powered, it samples the air continuously. Amicrochip inside the unit stores each reading and remembers the levels it has been exposed to over time. The unit goes into alarm mode when it has been exposed to a "critical" level.
•Test the alarm once a week. If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately. If the alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.
•This combination CO and Natural Gas Alarm is intended for residential use and is not suitable for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electrical Code.
•This unit must be powered by a 24 hour circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Failure to connect this unit to a 24 hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.
•This alarm must have AC or battery power to operate. If AC power fails and the battery is dead or missing, the alarm cannot operate.
•The alarm will check for the presence of gas at the sensor less frequently when powered by the backup battery. Gas could be present during the period between checks without going into alarm, especially during a condition that results in a rapid buildup of gas.
•This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations or family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical conditions which may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition, contact your physician.
