If The CO Alarm Sounds
dangEr:
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence
of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO
Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!
1. Operate the Test/Silence button.
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the num-
ber of your local emergency service here:
__________________________________________________________________
3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do
a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency
services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO
Alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance 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 manufacturers’
instructions, or contact the manufacturers 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. Write
down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:
