Troubleshooting Guide - First Alert CO606 Manual De Usario

levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach
a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally
sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults.
This CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for
use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for carbon monoxide detectors
must be met.
CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. If children or others do not
readily waken to the sound of the CO Alarm, or if there are infants or
family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is
assigned to assist them in the event of an emergency.
CO Alarms will not work without power. This CO Alarm requires a con-
tinuous supply of AC power. Plug into an unswitched 120V AC outlet only.
CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup
power systems: AC powered CO Alarms should only be operated with
true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this CO Alarm with most
battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square
wave or "quasi sine wave" inverters will damage the Alarm. If you are
not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the
manufacturer to verify.
This CO Alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach
the sensor. This CO Alarm will only sense CO at the sensor. CO may be
present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate
at which CO reaches the CO Alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors
are usually closed at night, we recommend you install a CO Alarm in
each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
CO Alarms may not sense CO on another level of the home. For
example, a CO Alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not
sense CO in the basement. For this reason, one CO Alarm may not give
adequate warning. Complete coverage is recommended. Place CO
Alarms on each level of the home.

vapor concentrations in parts per million.
Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).
CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or
exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However,
if the CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a
sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking
alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only
partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn
if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic,
stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also
prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This CO Alarm is not
intended for people who are hearing impaired.
CO Alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a
source of carbon monoxide, this CO Alarm does not sense smoke or
fire. This CO Alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed from
malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, or other sources. Early warning of
fire requires the installation of smoke alarms.
CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO
Alarms warn against increasing CO levels, BRK Brands, Inc. does not
warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning.
Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
CO Alarms have a limited life. Although the CO Alarm and all of its
parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as
reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore,
you must test your CO Alarm weekly.
CO Alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO
Alarms have limitations. They can only detect CO that reaches their
sensors. They may not give early warning to rising CO levels if the CO
is coming from a remote part of the home, away from the CO Alarm.
YOU SHOULD...
Install 1 new 9 volt battery*.
Gently push unit all the way into outlet. Make
sure it is not plugged into an outlet controlled
by a switch.
Make sure unit is plugged in securely.
CO Alarms under warranty should be returned to
manufacturer for replacement. See "Limited
Warranty" for details.
Immediately replace the CO Alarm.
IF YOU ARE FEELING SYMPTOMS OF CO
POISONING, EVACUATE your home and call 911 or
the Fire Department. If not, press the Test/Silence
button again and keep ventilating your home.
Relocate your Alarm. If frequent alarms continue,
have home rechecked for potential CO problems.
You may be experiencing an intermittent CO
problem.
Replace alarm 7 years after installation. Please write the date in
the space provided: ____________/___________Month/Year
The alarm will also provide an audible End-of-Life Signal approxi-
mately 7 years after installation to remind you to replace the unit.
The End-of-Life Signal can be silenced for up to 2 days. Do not unplug
the alarm or remove the batteries until you get replacement.
