Part Four – What to do When the
Alarm Sounds
L
!
1) Operate test/reset button;
2) Call your emergency services (999);
3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/win-
dow. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do
not re-enter the premises nor move away from the open door/win-
dow until the emergency services responders have arrived, the
premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal
condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to
investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and
appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment
serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected
by the technician and consult the manufacturer's instructions, or con-
tact the manufacturer's directly, for more information about CO safety
and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have
not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the resi-
dence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected.
Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
