Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING:
Activation of the CO
Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
If the alarm sounds 4 quick “beeps”, 5 seconds off:
1) 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 re-enter 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.
2) Call your local emergency service.
(fire department or 911)
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has
been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button
will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused
the alert in the first place continues, the alarm will
reactivate. If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it
is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a
dangerous situation.
