• Page 3 RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS • Locate the first smoke alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the escape route as the bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional smoke alarms in each sleeping area. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a smoke alarm at each end.
• Page 4 AVOID THESE LOCATIONS • the garage – products of combustion are produced when you start your vehicle. • near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, gas hot water heaters). Use smoke alarms with U.S.S.T. ® or photoelectric sensors, or smoke alarms with Silence Feature for these areas.

  • SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT DETECT FIRE ON ANOTHER FLOOR OR AREA OF THE HOME. Recommended minimum protection is at least one smoke alarm inside every bed- room, outside every sleeping area and on every level of the residence. Interconnected alarms may provide earlier warning than stand-alone alarms since all alarms will sound when the initiating alarm sounds.
• Page 24 • Install an alarm in every family living unit containing a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage. • Alarms should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vi- cinity of the bedrooms. Where bedrooms are separated and audibility of the alarm to occupants within the bedroom area could be seriously impaired, more than one alarm may be needed.

• Page 25: Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed

  Mobile Home Installation: For minimum protection, smoke alarms should be installed in compliance with H.U.D. Manu- factured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Section 3280.208 and Section 3282. For additional protection, see Single Story Residence smoke alarm requirements/rec- ommendations for Existing Homes and New Construction Homes.

• Page 30 WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless, 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 “flu-like”...
• Page 31 Because carbon monoxide may dissipate by the time a first responder or investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. USI Electric/Universal Security Instruments shall not be obligated to pay for or reimburse the user of this alarm for any carbon monoxide investigation or service calls. Fire departments, HVAC contractors and most utility companies will perform CO inspections.
• Page 32 Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Check the color of the flame on the burner and pilot lights to ensure they are burning properly. They should be blue. If the flame is orange or yellow, it is a sign the fuel is not burning completely and a repair technician should be contacted.

• Page 44: Co Alarm Limitations

  CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARM LIMITATIONS CO Alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO Alarms are not foolproof. CO Alarms have a limited operational life. Your CO Alarm must be tested weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. If your CO Alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced (see last page for warranty information).
