Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

If the alarm sounds 4 quick “beeps”, repeating  

every 5 seconds:

1)

  Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open 

door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are 
accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away 
from the open door/window until the emergency services 
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, 
and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

2)

  Call your local emergency service.  

(fire department or 911) 

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been 

corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will 

terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the 

alert in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. 

If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing 

high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous 

situation.

WARNING:

 Activation of the CO  

Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon 

Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
