Dear New COSTAR® 12RV-D Owner, Congratulations as you have taken steps to help insure the health and life safety of you and your family. We are proud to offer you our unique, patented CO Sensor technology that detects CO in a manner similar to the human body’s response. The COSTAR® 12RV-D is an ideal and low-cost way of warning you of both the acute and chronic effects of CO poisoning. Please read this owner’s manual carefully so you will have a better understanding of the effects of CO poison ing and the COSTAR® 12RV-D Alarm, as we work together pursuing a safer, healthier indoor air quality for us all.

WARNING: Failure to replace this product by the “REPLACE BY DATE” printed on the alarm cover may result in death by Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Replace By Date is six (6) years from date of manufacture. 1.0 WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison. Even low levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother. The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: MILD EXPOSURE: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu”-like symptoms); MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate; EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, brain damage, cardio respiratory failure, death. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Your CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as fuel burning appliances (e.g. space heater, furnace, water heater, range, oven, clothes dryer), or other sources of combustion (e.g. kerosene-burning stove or heater or gas log fireplace) or internal combustion engines (e.g. automobile exhaust). Furthermore, installation of this device is not a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems. This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gases. CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with commercial or industrial standards, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This device is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner. 2.0 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS WARNING: Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can KILL YOU. If alarm signal sounds (flashing red light and pulsating horn): * For users in the United States, follow the protocol in steps 1 through 4 below: 1) Operate reset/silence button; 2) Call your emergency services (______ - _______) [fire department or 911]; 3) 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. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until 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 repair technician (______ - _______) to investigate the 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 manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. * For users in Canada, follow the protocol in steps 1 and 2 below: 1) Immediately move to fresh air – out...
