• SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT DETECT FIRE ON ANOTHER FLOOR OR AREA OF THE HOME. Recommended minimum protection is at least one smoke alarm inside every bed- room, outside every sleeping area and on every level of the residence. Interconnected alarms may provide earlier warning than stand-alone alarms since all alarms will sound when the initiating alarm sounds. - Page 4 • Install an alarm in every family living unit containing a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage. • Alarms should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vi- cinity of the bedrooms. Where bedrooms are separated and audibility of the alarm to occupants within the bedroom area could be seriously impaired, more than one alarm may be needed.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison. Even low levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like”... -
Page 11: Potential Sources Of Co
Because carbon monoxide may dissipate by the time a first responder or investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. USI Electric/Universal Security Instruments shall not be obligated to pay for or reimburse the user of this alarm for any carbon monoxide investigation or service calls. Fire departments, HVAC contractors and most utility companies will perform CO inspections. -

Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Check the color of the flame on the burner and pilot lights to ensure they are burning properly. They should be blue. If the flame is orange or yellow, it is a sign the fuel is not burning completely and a repair technician should be contacted. -
