• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability
to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a
smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on
every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing
an early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have
adequate insurance to protect their lives and property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the air for the
presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of
CO present, and when there are low levels of CO present
over a longer period of time. When a CO condition
matches either of these situations, the alarm/voice message
warning system will sound, and be accompanied by the
flashing red LED light. The carbon monoxide sensor uses an
electrochemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using
warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for
carbon monoxide concentrations less than 30 ppm.
