Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors. • In direct sunlight. • In outlets covered by curtains or other obstruction. • This CO Alarm is designed for use inside a single-family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in common lobbies, hallways, or basements of multi-family buildings unless working CO Alarms are also installed in each family living unit. CO Alarms in common areas may not be heard from inside individual family living units. • This CO Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete detection systems in places which house many people, like hotels or dormitories, unless a CO Alarm is also placed in each unit. • DO NOT use this CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, special-purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes.

ALARM LEVELS OF CO ARE DETECTED: HORN: Sounds loudly -4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause. This sequence repeats for as long as the unit is in alarm.* POWER/ALARM LIGHT: The LED flashes with the same pattern as the horn. *Note: If unit goes into alarm under battery back-up power, the regular 4 beeps-brief pause cycle will repeat for four minutes. After four minutes, the pause will increase to 1 minute. IF YOU SILENCE THE ALARM: HORN: Silent for about 4 minutes POWER/ALARM LIGHT: Flashes rapidly Note: After 4 minutes, if CO levels drop below alarm levels, the unit will remain silent and return to normal operation. If CO presence still indicates a potentially dangerous situation, the horn will sound again. IF THE CO LEVELS RETURN TO NORMAL: HORN: Silent POWER/ALARM LIGHT: Shines continuously INSTALLATION WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.
