Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
If alarm sounds 4 quick beeps, 5 seconds off:
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 emergency services (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.
