•
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.
