2. Safety
Muting the detector
If the detector starts to beep, it can be temporarily muted by pressing
once on the Test/Mute button (red “Alarm” LED will continue to blink).
If the level of CO remains unchanged after 4 minutes, the beep will
go off again. The alarm can only be muted once; if the level of CO is
high, the mute function will not work.
Test the detector at regular intervals by pressing the Test button
j
for at least 5 seconds. If the green “Power Test/OK” LED lights up, the
power is on and the detector is working.
It is essential to test the detector at regular intervals to
ensure that it is getting the correct power supply and
functioning properly.
Please refer also to the device manufacturer's operating
manual.
The carbon monoxide detector is not a substitute for the
correct assembly, use and maintenance of combustion
heaters and suitable ventilation and exhaust systems. It
serves to protect people from the acute effects of carbon
monoxide, but it cannot ensure the complete protection
of people with certain health issues.
The detector automatically checks the following functions:
- low battery (yellow “Error” LED blinks once a minute/detector beeps
once a minute);
- sensor error (yellow “Error” LED blinks twice a minute/detector beeps
twice a minute);
- detector’s period of use has expired (yellow “Error” LED blinks 3
times a minute/detector beeps 3 times a minute).
2.4 Emergency equipment
If one or more of these malfunctions occur, the detector must be
replaced.
To be prepared in case of an emergency, you should always carry the
three emergency devices on board and familiarize yourself with
them

fi
rst aid kit should always be kept handy. It should have a

High visibility jacket/vest
British regulations for carrying and wearing a high-visibility vest with
white retro-reflective stripes in accordance with EN 471 whenever
