PSA LIFCO9 - Manual (Page 3)

Welcome
Note: Many times throughout this User’s Guide, we will refer to Carbon
Monoxide as “CO”.
Your new Lifesaver Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is a sophisticated instrument that
has been carefully designed and tested to detect CO build up in a residential
environments. Your alarm is for use specifically in the home.
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of CO in the
blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin level and interferes with the body’s ability to
supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, carbon monoxide can kill
in minutes.
The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning, or misuse of, gas appliances
used for heating and cooking, vehicles engines, electric generators, blocked
chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and
operating a grill in an enclosed space.
Indications of CO poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever.
Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but unborn
babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or
respiratory problems may experience symptoms sooner. Each year a qualified
Plumber or Gas fitter should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney,
and flues.
Your new Lifesaver CO alarm has a five year warranty. Please take a few minutes to
thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarize yourself and your family with its
operation. Your Lifesaver CO alarm was designed to detect carbon monoxide gas
from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any
other gases. If you have any questions please call us on 1300 772 776.
