• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not
reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense
fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other
side of a closed door or on a different floor.
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a differ-
ent 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. When a CO condition match-
es either of these situations, the alarm/voice message warn-
ing system will sound, and be accompanied by the flashing
red LED light. The carbon monoxide sensor uses an electro-
chemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monox-
ide gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warn-
ing devices which provide audible and visual signals for car-
bon monoxide concentrations less than 30 ppm.
