Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING:
Activation of the CO Alarm
indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can kill you.
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 unit is sounding a CO alarm signal, pressing the Test/
Hush button on this unit will do nothing. Pressing the Test/
Hush button on the initiating CO or Combination alarm unit
will terminate the CO alarm on all interconnected units. If
the CO condition that caused the alarm in the first place
continues, the initiating alarm unit will reactivate in alarm
mode. If the unit goes into alarm mode again within six
minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly
become a dangerous situation.

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
WARNING:
This alarm DOES NOT detect
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and is not a substitute
for owning a Carbon Monoxide Alarm.
If CO is detected from any other unit in an interconnected
system, the carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern will sound
4 quick beeps in time with red LED flashes, repeating every
5 seconds, followed by “Warning! Carbon Monoxide! Monoxyde
de carbone!” The strobe will flash 4 times every 5 seconds.
The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke
and carbon monoxide are present.
