How to use
Place the device at least 1–3 meters from fuel-burning appliances and near sleeping areas for optimal detection of carbon monoxide buildup. Install batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and perform an initial function check to confirm the alarm and indicators operate correctly. Do not install the detector directly above or next to combustion appliances, windows or ventilation ducts where airflow may prevent accurate readings. When the alarm sounds, follow local safety procedures: ventilate the area, turn off potential sources of CO if safe to do so, evacuate occupants, and contact emergency services if symptoms or high readings persist.
Usage recommendations
Test the detector regularly and replace batteries as recommended; follow local guidance for detector placement and maintenance. Use the portable CO sensor as part of a broader indoor safety practice that includes regular servicing of heating and cooking appliances and adherence to manufacturer safety instructions.
