WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide (CO) cannot be seen or smelled but
it can kill you. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Never operate an automobile, generator, or other
gasoline powered engine in your garage, near open
windows, or in other confined spaces.
• NEVER ignore any alarm. See IF YOUR CARBON
MONOXIDE ALARM SOUNDS/ACTIVATES for more
information on how to respond to an alarm.
• The Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not designed to detect
smoke, fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
• This Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not intended for use
inside your house or other family living areas. It is
not designed to measure CO levels in compliance
with Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
• This Carbon Monoxide Alarm cannot operate without
power or working backup batteries. Removing the
backup batteries for any reason or failing to replace
the batteries at the end of their service life, removes
your protection.
• DO NOT use Reset Feature during emergency
situations. Identify the source of the CO and be certain
a safe condition exists. See "Using Reset Feature"
for details.
• Test this Carbon Monoxide Alarm once a month. If
the Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced
immediately!
If the alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to
a potential problem.
• Individuals with medical conditions that may make
them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider
using warning devices which provide audible and
visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations
under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon
monoxide and your medical condition, contact your
physician.
• ALWAYS read and understand the operator's manual
before using this product.
