Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty last so the
above limitation may not apply to you.
Do not interfere with the Alarm or attempt to tamper with it. This will invalidate the
guarantee, but more importantly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards. This
guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer.
11. Limitations of CO Alarms
(1) The CO Alarm will not work without good batteries. If the batteries have been
drained the Alarm will not give protection. Button test the Alarm weekly and on return
from holidays and other long absences.
(2) Carbon Monoxide must enter the unit for it to be detected. There may be Carbon
Monoxide in other areas of the house (e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc) but not
in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can prevent
the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend CO Alarms are
fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night.
Additionally, install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their
time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas.
(3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard
behind a closed door or if it is too far away. RF interconnecting CO Alarms greatly
improves the probability that they will be heard. The Alarm may not wake up
somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The alarm sound may be masked by
other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on either side
of closed doors will improve their chance of being heard. This CO Alarm is not
designed for people with impaired hearing.
