This unit is powered by a UL Listed fire or UL Listed fire/burglary alarm control panel; therefore, the unit may not operate during a power failure or if the central control panel is disabled. WARNING ! This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commerical or industrial standards. People with special medical problems should consider using specialized detection devices with under 30 ppm alarming capabilities. CAUTION ! This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. CO may be present in other areas. Anything preventing CO from reaching the sensor, such as closed doors, could delay or prevent the alarm being activated. We recommend that a sensor be installed in each bedroom and in the hallways between them. Reminder - If the unit is in trouble or at the end of its life, it may not sense CO and can not be relied upon to monitor carbon monoxide levels. Product Ordering CO alarms are not smoke alarms. This alarm is designed to detect CO from any combustion source. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. CO alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper, or someone who has taken drugs or alcohol, may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom. Normal noise due to stereos, television etc. may also prevent hearing the alarm if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This unit is not designed for the hearing impaired. CO alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these alarms will warn against increasing CO levels, we do not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. They should only be considered as an integral part of a comprehensive safety program. Home owners and renters must still insure their own lives. Replacement Information This product is designed to work reliably for 5 years after the installation date. The End of Sensor Life indicator will activate after approximately 5 years to signal that it is time to replace the alarm. At that time, you should contact your local distributor to replace the alarm.
