In the Event of a Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Detectors may have been installed to safeguard the occupants of your dwelling from the dangerous and possibly deadly

effects of CO gas . See “Safety Precautions and Notations.”

If a CO alarm is activated, the system emits a warning siren until the system no longer detects CO in the environment.

To respond to a CO alarm event:

1. Gather all occupants and immediately move to fresh air (either go outdoors or stand by an open door/window).

DANGER!!! To protect yourself and others from injury and/or death, do not re-enter the home or move away from

the open door/window until the premises has been approved for safe reentry by emergency ofﬁ cials. To learn about

other ways to safeguard your home from the harmful effects of CO, refer to the guidelines deﬁ ned by your local,

state, or regional ofﬁ cials.

2. Dial 9-1-1 (or your region’s emergency services number) to report the situation to authorities.

Always call from safe location.

3. Survey each person’s health, checking for ﬂ u-like symptoms and other evidence of CO poisoning.

TIP: To prevent a future occurrence, contact an industry professional to evaluate all possible sources of CO gas in

the dwelling.

NOTE: If Smart Areas are conﬁ gured, the CO Alarm must be acknowledged and cleared in each Smart Area. This can be

done at a keypad assigned to each area or by using the Smart Areas button on the home screen.
