Carbon Monoxide Monitor Procedure
1) Operate the Test/Reset 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 monitor remains in its normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if the monitor 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 equip-
ment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, or contact the manufacturer’s 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 adja-
cent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the monitor!
If the unit is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will ter-
minate the monitor. If the CO condition that caused the alert
in the first place continues, the unit will reactivate in alert or
full alarm mode. If the unit goes into full alarm again within
six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly
become a dangerous situation.
WARNING:
Full monitor activation
indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
at high concentrations, which can kill you.
