2.1 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
The COSTAR
9RV-SSO has been designed and is warranted to operate for
six years. Never disconnect the battery to silence an alarm. The alarm will
automatically sense when the level of CO in the air falls below the danger
level. You should stay outside the residence or unconditioned area and
remain in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do
not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud
because it is designed to awaken a person in an emergency. Prolonged
exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing.
3.0 DEVELOPING YOUR OWN CO SAFETY PLAN
This CO alarm can quickly alert you to the presence of CO — it cannot
prevent toxic CO emissions. Please note that there are hazards against which
CO detection may not be effective, such as gas leaks or explosions. The
ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic CO fumes rests solely on
you. Installing CO detectors is just the first step in protecting your family
from toxic CO poisoning. We also suggest that you create an effective,
comprehensive safety program as outlined below.
3.1 Install CO detectors properly following the instructions in this manual.
3.2 Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire family,
especially small children.
– Draw a floor plan of your home and find two ways to exit from each
room. There should be one way to get out of each bedroom without
opening the door.
– Make sure that all occupants know what the CO alarm signal means and
how they must exit the residence by themselves if necessary.
– Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from your house and make
sure all occupants understand where they should go and wait if there is a
dangerous CO condition.
– Conduct CO safety drills at least every 6 months to make sure that
everyone, even small children, know what to do in order to escape
safely.
– Know where to go to call the Fire Department or professional assistance
from outside your residence.
