m
anufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly,
for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make
s

WHAT TO DO IF SMOKE IS DETECTED
• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning
you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your
immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the
alarm may result in injury or death.
• Never disconnect the AC power to quiet an unwanted alarm.
Disconnecting the power disables the Alarm so it cannot
sense smoke. This will remove your protection. Instead, open
a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The Alarm will
reset automatically.
• If the unit alar
ms get ever
yone out of the house immediately.
•
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Attempting to disconnect the
power connector from the unit when the power is on may result
in electrical shock, serious injury or death.
When an interconnected system of AC powered units is in alarm,
the alarm indicator light on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will blink
rapidly. It will remain OFF on any remaining units.
If the unit alarms, get everyone out of the dwelling immediately.
If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a
fire—cooking smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a
nearby window or
door and fan the smoke away fr
om the unit. Use the
Silence Feature to silence the Alarm. This will silence the alarm, and
once the smoke clears the unit will reset itself automatically.
If you hear the alarm horn sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps,
pause and the RED SMOKE light is flashing, smoke has
been detected. Evacuate everyone from the building.
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon
m
onoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO
A
larm sounds, you must not ignore it!
“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”
If you hear the alarm horn sound 4 beeps, pause,
4
beeps, pause, and the RED CO light is flashing,
m
ove everyone to a source of fresh air.
