Resumen del manual
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 are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: MILD EXPOSURE Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu-like" symptoms). MEDIUM EXPOSURE Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. EXTREME EXPOSURE Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that victims are aware they are not well, but they become so disoriented that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. 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 those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A CO alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas surrounding its sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual warnings for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS Never disconnect a CO alarm 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 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. Two self-adhesive labels have been provided with instructions indicating what to do if the alarm sounds. Add the phone numbers of your emergency services provider and a qualified technician to each label. Place one of the labels in a visible area next to the alarm and place the other label near a source of fresh air which will be used as a gathering place if the alarm sounds. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS YOUR CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND IS WARRANTED TO OPERATE FOR FIVE YEARS. NOTE: MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF ALARM FIVE YEARS AFTER DATE OF PURCHASE. Activation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. If alarm sounds: 1. Operate test/reset button; 2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911; (Phone No. ) 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; (Phone No. ) 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. INSTALLING THE ALARM FOR RESIDENTIAL USE LOCATION One of the most important considerations in any CO alarm system is the location of the alarms. Statistics of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) show that most of the fatal CO occurrences happen at night while people are sleeping. Early warning of CO is best achieved by the installation of CO alarms on all floors and areas of the household including attached garages. Placement of a alarm in a garage may cause an alarm due to CO from automotive exhaust. RECOMMENDATIONS – Put a CO alarm inside each bedroom where the occupant closes the door while sleeping. Particulate smoke can be blocked by a closed door, but CO fumes are likely to get through. – A CO alarm should be installed in any family living unit containing a fuel-burning appliance or fireplace or having an attached garage. – A CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of t...
