recommend CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed
at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and
in rooms with potential sources of CO gas.
- The Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if
it is too far away. Interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard. The
Alarm may not wake up somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The alarm sound may be masked
by other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on either side of closed doors
will improve their chance of being heard. This Alarm is not designed for people with impaired hearing.
(For deaf people or those with impaired hearing use this CO Alarm in conjunction with an Ei170RF
RadioLINK Alarm for the Hard of Hearing which has a bright strobe & vibration pad).
- CO Alarms don't last indefinitely. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts.
Although the Alarm and its component parts have undergone stringent tests and are designed to be
very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your Alarm weekly. The Alarm
sensor must be replaced by the 'REPLACE SENSOR BY' date on the label on the side of the Alarm. The
complete Alarm must be replaced by the date given on the 'REPLACE UNIT BY' label.
- CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible for their own
insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect
everyone from CO poisoning.
- CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but
the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning
of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.
- This CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, butane)
or other combustible gases. Fit combustion gas alarms to detect these.
WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE
EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS
WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
