If the Smoke Alarm Sounds
- Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family’s escape plan.
- Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.
- Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.
- If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).
- Take short, shallow breaths.
- Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
- Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
- Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.
- Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.
If the CO Alarm Sounds
WARNING
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO)
which can KILL YOU. If alarm signal sounds:
- Operate reset/silence button (test/silence button).
- Call your emergency services (Telephone Number) [Fire Department or 911].
- 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 reenter 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.
- After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician (Telephone Number) to investigate for sources of CO from fue-Hburning 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 not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers’ 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.
More detailed information on conditions which can result in transient CO situations, such as:
-
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by:
– Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
– Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
– Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
– Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
– Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the above situations. -
Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc).
-
Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.
-
Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
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 buzzer noise level is over 85 cB at a distance of 10 feet (3 m). 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 are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a source of carbon monoxide, this CO alarm does not sense smoke or fire. This CO alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed from malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, or other possible sources of incomplete combustion. The installation of a smoke alarm is required for an early warning of fire.
-
CO alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO alarms warn against increasing CO levels, we do not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
-
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.
