WHAT TO DO IF NATURAL GAS IS DETECTED:
1. Leave the house immediately, opening doors and windows as you leave.
2. Do not use your telephone or appliances. Do not turn any light switches off or on. Any
spark or flame could ignite the gas.
3. Call 911 and your gas company from a phone that is away from your home.
4. Do not reenter the area until the source of the leak is found and corrected.
If you hear the alarm horn sound 1 beep per second, gas has
been detected. Evacuate everyone from the building.
If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous
situation which requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the
alarm may result in injury or death.
USING THE CO ALARM SILENCE FEATURE (Gas alarm signal cannot be silenced)
NEVER disconnect the power to your alarm to silence the horn - use the Silence feature. Disconnecting
the alarm removes your protection!
• The CO Silence feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify
and correct the problem.
• To use the CO Silence feature, press and release the TEST/CO SILENCE button until
the horn is silent.
• If the TEST/CO SILENCE button is pressed while the alarm is in the silence mode, the
alarm will start sounding again.
WHEN THE CO ALARM SIGNAL IS SILENCED: The CO alarm will remain silent for approx. 5
minutes (with the red LED blinking on approx. every 5 seconds, until reset) and then return to
normal operation. It will continue to monitor the air for CO. Ventilate area. After up to 5 minutes,
depending on the level of CO detected, if CO levels remain potentially dangerous, the horn will start
sounding again.
IMPORTANT!
The CO Silence feature is intended to temporarily silence the alarm horn. It will not correct a CO
problem. The Gas alarm signal cannot be silenced.
1. Operate TEST/CO SILENCE button;
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local
emergency service here:
3. 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.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3
and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for 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 not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers' instructions or
contact the manufacturer(s) 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. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:
