Appendix D - Warnings and Limitations
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living
units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Caution
: The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30 ppm.
The alarm, including the sensor, is not to be located within 1.5m (5 feet) of
any cooking appliance.
The detector may not alarm at low carbon monoxide levels. The
Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) has established that
continuous exposure levels of 50 ppm should not be exceeded in an 8
hours period. Individuals with medical problem may consider more
sensitive detection devices.
The CO gas detector is not suitable as a smoke detector or fire detector.
This detector is not suitable to install in an hazardous location as defined
in National Electrical Code.
Carbon monoxide must reach the detector for proper performance of CO
gas detection. The detector may not protect people who are at special risk
from carbon monoxide exposure by reason of age, pregnancy or medical
condition. In doubt, consult your medical practitioner.
CO detectors may wear out because they contain electronic parts that fail
at any time. Test your detector at least every week.
Instruct children never to play with the detector.
Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the detector.
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the
detector.
Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the detectors vents and interfere
detecting CO gas.
Detailed information on conditions which can result in transient CO
situations:
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances
caused by:
a. Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid
air with extended periods between cycles).
b. Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust
fans.
c. Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances
competing for limited internal air.
d. Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces,
or water heaters.
e. Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify
the above situations.
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,
fireplace, etc.).
3. Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
Appendix E - Trouble-shooting
Problem This
means...
You should...
Every 60 seconds, the yellow LED flashes once and 1
beep is heard.
Low battery warning
Replace battery (see SPECIFICATIONS).
When TEST/MUTE button is pressed, the green LED
flashes instead of lighting during 2 seconds.
Detector fault or the battery is
not OK.
Replace battery (see SPECIFICATIONS). If the problem still
exists, replace detector.
Every 60 seconds, there are 3 flashes of the yellow
LED and 1 beep is heard.
Detector end of life/ fault.
Replace battery (see SPECIFICATIONS). If the problem still
exists, replace detector.
CO detector goes back into alarm 6 minutes after the
TEST/MUTE button is pressed.
CO level indicates a potentially
dangerous situation.
If you are feeling symptoms of CO poisoning, evacuate your
home and call your emergency service.
CO detector alarms frequently even though no high
levels of CO are revealed in an investigation.
The CO detector may be
improperly located.
Relocate the detector - see appendix A. If frequent alarms
continue, have home rechecked for potential CO problems. You
may experiencing an intermittent CO problem.

Warning!
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Visonic Ltd. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The digital circuit of this device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and
television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference,
which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one which supplies power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
