Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

If alarm sounds 4 quick beeps, 5 seconds off:

1)

Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open

door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away
from the open door/window until the emergency services
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and
your alarm remains in its normal condition.

2)

Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911);

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

If the alarm is sounding, pressing the Test/Hush button will
terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert
in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the
unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels
of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.

WARNING:

Activation of the CO 

Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
