WARNING:
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence
of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.
When the CO alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 short beeps
– followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short beeps. (Note: When the unit is disconnected from the 120V power supply
and is on battery backup, the alarm pattern will continue for the first 4 minutes after detecting CO and then the cycle will repeat
every one minute). Know how to respond to a CO emergency. Periodically review this user’s guide and discuss with all members
of your family.
