Part Four – What to do When the Alarm Sounds

Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms

of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate

that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so dis-

oriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the

building or calling for assistance. Also young children and house-

hold pets may be the first affected. The following symptoms are

related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be dis-

cussed with ALL members of the household:

When the CO alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will

emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 short “chirps”

– followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short “chirps”.

(Note: When the unit is disconnected from the 120V power

supply and is on battery backup, the alarm pattern will continue

for the first 5 minutes after detecting CO and then the cycle will

repeat every one minute). Know how to respond to a CO emer-

gency. Periodically review this user’s guide and discuss with all

members of your family.

Become familiar with these common symptoms from CO poisoning.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning,

consult your doctor immediately!

Common Mild Exposure Symptoms:

Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu” like symptoms.

Common Medium Exposure Symptoms:

Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting

Common Extreme Exposure Symptoms:

Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

If alarm signal sounds 4 quick “chirps”, 5 seconds off:

1) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors. Check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the

premises until emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your

alarm remains in its normal operating condition.

2) Call your emergency services
