WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and 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" symptoms)
MEDIUM EXPOSURE
Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate
EXTREME EXPOSURE
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also,
young children and household pets may be the first affected.
Your CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted
from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust.
A CO Alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is
designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may
be present in other areas.
