may expose the sensor to substances that could damage
or contaminate it.

•
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder
than 40
°
F (4.4
°
C) or hotter than 100
°
F (37.8
°
C) such as
crawl spaces, attics, porches, and garages.
•
Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.
(We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)
•
Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any
forced/unforced air ventilation openings.
•
Do not install on metal surfaces.
•
Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or
electrical wires.
•
Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas
directly exposed to the weather.
•
Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted
ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the
sensor in time to provide early warning.
•
Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large
batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to
perform at less than optimum performance.
•
Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not
place the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects
block the flow of air to the vents.
