1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
This CO alarm is designed to act as a monitor; it is not designed for use as a
short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the presence of CO.
CO alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms are
not fool-proof. CO alarms have a limited operational life. You must test your
CO alarm weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time.
If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a
malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This alarm will not monitor
CO levels while in an error condition.
CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It’s possible that
CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The rate and
ability that which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by:
• Doors or other obstructions.
• Fresh air from a vent, an open window or other source.
• CO being present on one level of the home and not reach a CO alarm
installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may not
reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms).
For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing
a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all information
on properly installing this CO alarm.
CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas
(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels.
