If alarm sounds:

1 Operate reset/silence button

2 Call your emergency services ﬁ re department or 911

3 Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door/window. Then, 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 qualiﬁ ed technician

to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.

If problems are identiﬁ ed 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 manufacturers 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.

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 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 "ﬂ u–like" symptoms)

•

MEDIUM

EXPOSURE Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,

confusion, fast heart rate

•

EXTREME

EXPOSURE

Unconsciousness,

cardiorespiratory 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 ﬁ rst

affected.

Your CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from

incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces,

ﬁ replaces and auto exhaust.

A CO Alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, ﬁ re or

smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon

monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion.

☞

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 Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using

warning devices which provide audible and visual signals

for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

2.0 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

•

2.1

The 2GIG-CO1-345 has been designed to operate for six years

with regular maintenance.

•

2.2

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 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.

☞

NOTE:

Manufacturer strongly recommends replacement

of alarm six years after date of purchase. Under no

circumstances should the alarm be used (7) years after the

date of purchase.

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 ﬁ rst 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.

PRINTERS INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

✓

Draw a ﬂ oor plan of your home and ﬁ nd 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 from outside your

convulsions,

residence.

☞

NOTE:

This unit is designed to detect carbon monoxide

(CO) entering its sensing chamber. It does not sense

combustible gas (such as natural gas, propane or butane),

heat, smoke or ﬂ ames.

4.0 IMPORTANT: WHAT YOUR CO ALARM CAN AND

CANNOT DO

•

4.1

This CO alarm is designed for use within a single residential

living unit only. In a multi-family building, the alarm may not provide

early warning for residents if it is placed outside of the residential

units, such as on outside porches, in corridors, lobbies, basements,

or in other apartments. In multi-family buildings, each residential unit

should have detectors installed as previously indicated.

•

4.2

When properly located, installed, and maintained, this CO alarm

is designed to provide early warning of developing poisonous CO

conditions at a reasonable cost. This alarm monitors the air, and

when it senses CO, it activates its built-in alarm. It can provide

precious time for you and your family to escape from your residence

before CO can seriously injure or kill. However, such an early warning

is possible only if the alarm is located, installed, and maintained as

speciﬁ ed in the Owner's Manual.

★

WARNING:

The 2GIG-CO1-345 CO Alarm is not designed

for marine, aircraft, automobile or RV use.

5.0 INSTALLING THE 2GIG-CO1-345 FOR RESIDENTIAL USE

If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, alarms should be placed

in each bedroom as well as in the common hallway between them. CO

alarms may not sense CO on a different level of a residence or building.

For example, a second ﬂ oor alarm may not sense a CO leak on the ﬁ rst

ﬂ oor or in the basement.

Therefore, alarms should be placed on every level of a residence or

building. If the alarm is located outside of a bedroom, it may not wake up

a sound sleeper, especially if the bedroom door is closed or only partly

open. If the alarm is located on a different level of the residence than

the bedrooms, it is even less likely to wake up people sleeping in the

bedroom.

Installing CO alarms may qualify you for lower homeowner's insurance

rates, but CO alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and

renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

•

5.1

RECOMMENDATIONS 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 correct installation of

CO alarms. Placement of an alarm in a garage may cause an alarm

due to CO from automotive exhaust.

•

5.2

RECOMMENDED MOUNTING LOCATIONS Put a CO alarm

inside each bedroom where the occupant closes the door while

sleeping. A closed door can block particulate smoke, but CO gas

is likely to get through.

•

5.3

This CO alarm must be mounted on the wall or ceiling.

WARNING

ACTUATION OF YOUR CO ALARM INDICATES THE

PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO),

WHICH CAN KILL YOU!

•

5.4

LOCATIONS TO AVOID Placing units where they will not operate

properly causes nuisance alarms. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not

place units:

✓

Within 5 feet (1.5m) of any cooking appliance or furnace.

✓

Near an open window or door, because the fresh air entering the

opening may delay CO from reaching the alarm.

✓

In damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers

or tubs. Install detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from

bathrooms.

✓

In very cold or very hot environments or in unheated buildings

or outdoor rooms where the temperature can go below or above

the operating range of the alarm. Temperature limits for proper

operation are 32° F to 100° F (4.4° C to 37.8° C).

✓

Good ventilation is recommended when household cleaning

supplies or similar contaminants are used.

•

5.5

SOME CONDITIONS WHICH CAN RESULT IN TEMPORARY

CO SITUATIONS:

•

5.5.1

Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning

appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:

a. Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind.

Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods

between cycles).

b. Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust

fans.

c. Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances

competing for limited internal air.

d. Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers,

furnaces, or water heaters.

e. Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can

amplify the above situations.

•

5.5.2

Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices

(range, oven, ﬁ replace, etc.)

•

5.5.3

Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust gasses

near the ground.

•

5.5.4

Car idling in an open or closed area garage, or near a

home.

IMPORTANT!!!

Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need

in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be

observed.

✶

For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules

and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter

power and therefore limited range.

✶

A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time

and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating

frequencies, regardless of code settings.

✶

Changes or modiﬁ cations to the device may void FCC compliance.

✶

Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against

undetected interference or fault.

✶

A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting

as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated

to the ultimate users.
