• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different
floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear
the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm
should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a
home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an
early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have
adequate insurance to protect their lives and property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the air for the
presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of CO
present, and when there are low levels of CO present over a
longer period of time (see page 21 for alarm times). When a CO
condition matches either of these situations, the alarm/voice
message warning system will sound, and be accompanied by the
flashing red LED light. The carbon monoxide sensor uses an
electrochemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of
carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon
monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.
