1. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED IN THE HOME? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various home appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and space heaters are the major of cause of high CO levels in the home. Automobile and small engine exhaust are another source of CO.

3. RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS: The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of "At least one CO alarm per household located outside each sleeping area" (see diagram "A"). CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the home, but because most CO poisoning cases occur while people are sleeping, the best location for the CO alarm is near the sleeping area in the home.
PAGE 6
4. WARNING! LOCATIONS TO AVOID: NEAR THE COOKING AREA: CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause nuisance alarms. Also cooking grease can build up on the alarm and cause alarm failure. CLOSE TO A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, OR SPACE HEATER: These devices often spill out small amounts of CO when they first turn on. IN GARAGES: Automobile exhaust contains CO and will activate alarm. IN DUSTY AREAS: Dust can build up on the alarm and cause failure to alarm.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: FOR 7030/ 7035: ϖ After selecting the proper alarm location as described in SECTION 3, drive a screw into the wall at eye level leaving the screw-head about ¼ inches from the wall. ϖ Hang the alarm firmly onto the screw-head. FOR 7030SL/ 7035SL: ϖ Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm (slide to the unlock position to remove). ϖ After selecting the proper alarm location as described in SECTION 3, fasten the mounting plate to the wall.

LOW BATTERY CONDITION: When the battery voltage drops, the alarm will sound one short beep per minute and the green LED will flash.
