12. GOOD SAFETY HABITS
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE:
Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from
each room.
Have a meeting with everyone to discuss your escape plan, and show what to do in
case an alarm sounds.
Determine a place outside your residence or facility where you can all meet if an alarm
sounds.
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the alarm and train them to leave the building
when they hear it.
Practice a CO fire drill at least once every six months. Practice allows you to test your
plan before an emergency. You may not be able to reach everyone.
It is important that
they all know what to do.
Discuss the symptoms related to
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
with everyone.
(See Section 4
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING?

life and emits the End-of-Life signal. The monitor will chirp once per minute,
SERVICE
red LED will glow for 3 seconds at the same time, and LCD will continuously display
. The monitor must be replaced once the End-of-Life signal has been activated.
See below procedures to remove and deactivate the monitor, and discharge the
batteries. The monitor can be disposed of using the same method for disposing of
discharged batteries.
Should the low battery voltage signal occur in less than five years after initial activation,
the battery power capacity may be low because of long-term storage prior to installation,
exposure to low or high temperatures or high humidity during storage or operation, or
abnormal usage. If the low battery voltage signal is activated in less than three years
under normal conditions, press the
TEST/RESET/MUTE
button to mute the audible low
battery voltage signal, and place the monitor in an environment at 60
o
F or warmer. If
the low battery voltage signal resumes in 24 hours, follow the steps below to deactivate
the monitor, and return the unit for warranty service to the address listed on the last
page of this Owner’s Manual.
In the event of any malfunction of the unit, the monitor will chirp twice per minute,
SERVICE
red LED will blink for 5 seconds every minute, and LCD will continuously
display
. Do not attempt to repair the monitor. This product should be serviced by
a qualified service technician. Follow the steps below to deactivate the monitor, and
