WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
CO ALARM ACTIVATION
Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps
repeating every 5 seconds.
WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarm
activation indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) at high concentrations which
can kill you.
1) Operate the Test/Hush button;
2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911).
3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window.
Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not
reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window 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 the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour }
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to
investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances,
and to inspect for proper operation of 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 contact
the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the
equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, or have not been,
operating in a garage attached or adjacent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected.
Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the unit is sounding, pressing the Test/Hush button will termi-
nate the notification. If the CO condition that caused the alarm in
the first place continues, the unit will reactivate in alarm mode.
If the unit goes into alarm mode again within six minutes, it is
sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous
situation.
