Where to Locate

A CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of all bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO alanns in each separate bedroom and on each level of your home.
If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
In a single-level house, install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install an additionaCO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters), away from any furnace or fuel burning heat source.
In multi-level houses, in addition to (3) above, install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install at least one CO alarm on each level of the house. If you have a basement, install a CO alarm at the top of the basement stairs.

Locations to Avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms, do not locate CO alarms in the following areas:

In garages or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
Where there is the possibility of smoke or fumes under normal operating circumstances.
In poorly ventilated kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Keep the CO alarms at least 20 feet (6 meters) from potential smoke or fume sources (e.g. stoves, furnaces, water heaters, space heaters) if possible.
In areas where a 20-foot (6-meter) distance from a potential smoke or fume source is not possible. In modular, mobile or smaller houses, it is recommended the CO alarm be placed as far from any potential smoke or fume sources.
Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.
In areas where the temperature is colder than 40 F (4.4 °C) or hotter than 100 F (37.8 C). For example, non–air–conditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches and garages.
Where the air is turbulent, such as near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioner vents, fresh air return vents, or open windows. Excessive air flow may prevent any CO from reaching the sensors.
In direct sunlight.

Installation

Installing the battery

Install the 9 V alkaline battery. When the battery is installed, the unit will beep one time and the green and yellow LEDs will flash, the CO concentration will be display on the LCD with a blue backlight. In 1-2 minutes, the backlight will turn off and the green light will flash every 60 seconds indicating that the unit is operational. 2. Wall mounting
2-1. Drill holes of 1.1 in (28 mm) or deeper at the marks using a 1/4 in (6 mm) drill bit.
2-2. Strike the two plastic plugs into the holes with a hammer and insert the screw.
2-3. Hook the CO alarm onto the screw.

Operating Instructions

Testing
Test your alarm by pressing the Ts Hush button. “O” will be displayed on the screen with a blue back light, and the unit will proceed to beep 4 times with the red LED flashing 4 times.
After 5 seconds of silence, the unit will beep 4 times with the red LED flashing 4 times again.
Hush button
Press the test button during an alarm to make the unit enter silence mode. If the CO concentration still exceeds the alarm threshold, the unit will enter another alarm state. Otherwise, the unit will exit the silence mode after 9 minutes and resume normal operation.
CO alarm levels
The CO01 battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm is programmed to sound an alarm at the following CO concentrations within the time periods listed:
30 ppm over 120 minutes,
50 ppm for 60-90 minutes,
100 ppm for 10-40 minutes,
and 300 ppm for 0-3 minutes.
When CO is detected and the alarm sounds, the CO concentration will be displayed on the LCD and a blue backlight will be lit. The red LED will flash and the alarm will issue 4 short beeps, repeating the cycle every 5 seconds. After 4 minutes, the device will issue 4 short beeps every 1 minute until the alarm condition disappears.

What to Do When the Alarm Sounds

Call your emergency services as soon as possible.
Immediately move to an area of 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 or move away from the open
door/window until the emergency services have arrived, the premises
have been aired out, and your alarm returns to its normal operating
condition.
After following steps 1-2 above, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-2 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment that has not been inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

Maintenance

To keep your alarm in good working order, you should adhere to the following steps.

Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Hush button.
Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove any accumulated dust.
Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with proper sensor operation.

Limitations of CO Alarms

CO alarms may not wake up all individuals. If children or others do not readily awaken to the sound of the CO alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone assists them in the event of an emergency.
This CO alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach the sensor. This CO alarm will only detect CO that reaches the sensor. CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the CO alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed at night, it is recommended that you install a CO alarm in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
CO alarms may not sense CO on another level of the house. For example, a CO alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not sense CO in the basement. For this reason, one CO alarm may not give an adequate warning. Complete coverage is recommended by placing CO alarms on each level of the house.
CO alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn intensity meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at a distance of 3.28 feet (1 meter). However, if the CO alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not awaken a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcohol. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partially open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, or other appliances may even prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This CO alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
CO alarms have a limited life. Although the CO alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you are strongly recommended to test your CO alarm weekly.
CO alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO alarms have limitations. They can only detect CO that reaches their sensors. They may not give early warning of rising CO levels if the CO is coming from a remote part of the house, or is at some distance from the CO alarm.
