Proper placement of your CO detector is crucial for effective detection. Carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and mixes readily with it. For optimal protection, install detectors:

• On every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas.
• Within 1 to 3 meters (3 to 10 feet) of fuel-burning appliances.
• On a wall, at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor, or on the ceiling.
• Avoid placing the detector in direct sunlight, in areas with high humidity, near ventilation openings, or behind curtains/furniture.

• ВК-дысплей: Shows current CO concentration in parts per million (PPM) or ambient temperature. It also displays status messages like "Err" (Fault), "Test" (during self-test), or "Hco" (High CO).

6.2 Праверка дэтэктара

Націсніце і ўтрымлівайце TEST/MENU button for a few seconds. The detector will emit a series of loud beeps, and the red ALARM LED will flash. The LCD display will show "Test". This confirms that the alarm and electronic circuitry are working. Test the detector weekly.
