Installing the CO alarm in a bedroom or room without a fuel-burning appliance (see Figure 2):
• Mount the CO alarm relatively close to the breathing zone of the occupant.
• Install the alarm such that the LED indicator is viewable when the occupant is near the alarm.
NOTE:
Due to the
product’s unique design and unfixed installation, it is not recommended to install it on a ceiling, as it is
prone to falling off and causing injuries to people.

Important Note
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms,
do not locate CO alarms
in the following areas:
1. In garages or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
2. Where there is the possibility of smoke or fumes under normal operating circumstances.
3. In poorly ventilated kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Keep the CO alarms at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from potential smoke or
fume sources (e.g. stoves, furnaces, water heaters, space heaters) if possible.
4. In areas where a 1.5 m (5-foot) distance from a potential smoke or fume source is not possible. In modular, mobile or smaller
houses, it is recommended the CO alarm be placed as far from any potential smoke or fume sources.
5. Within 1.5 m (5 feet) of any cooking appliance.
