Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas
directly exposed to the weather.
Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted
ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor
in time to provide early warning.
Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less
than optimum performance.
Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place
the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects block the
flow of air to the vents.
