Installation

Where to Install Alarms

• The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area near the bedrooms.
• For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom and a First Alert CO600 Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm on every 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 Home

• Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel-burning heat source.

In a Multi-level Home

1. Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.
2. For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home.
3. For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel-burning heat source.
4. In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty, or greasy areas.
5. Closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel-burning heat source, or fuel-burning appliances like a water heater.
6. Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
7. In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors.
8. In direct sunlight.
9. In outlets covered by curtains or other obstructions.

How to Install Co Alarm

1. Plug the unit into a standard UNSWITCHED 120V AC outlet. The unit should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night.
2. Make sure the POWER/ALARM light shines continuously when you plug it in.
3. Test by pressing the Test/Silence button firmly until the unit sounds: four loud beeps, pause, 4 beeps. During testing, the POWER/ ALARM light will flash rapidly. This is normal.

If the Co Alarm Sounds

• Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can kill you.
• In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!
• Operate the Test/Silence button.
• Call your emergency services, fire department, or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:
• Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.
• Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for.
• If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately.
