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 or 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.
4) After following steps 1–3, if the alarm 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
equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion
equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer 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 adjacent to the residence.
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.
WARNING: Activation of the CO alarm indicates the
presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
