These devices are equipped with a mounting bracket for temporary mounting only. UL Listed CO detectors intended for use in these environments are marked accordingly near the UL Listing Mark. Although they may look and sound similar, CO and smoke detectors are designed and intended to detect two separate, distinct hazards. Therefore, to help protect your family from both hazards, it's important to install both UL Listed CO detectors and smoke detectors. Follow the installation instructions found in the manufacturer's use and care booklet that accompanies the product.
Proper installation is an important factor in receiving optimum performance.
It's important to follow these instructions exactly. Like smoke detectors, CO detectors need to be tested regularly and cleaned as indicated in the manufacturer's use and care booklet. If the unit is wired directly into your home's electrical system, you should test it monthly. If your unit operates off a battery, test the detector weekly and replace the battery at least once a year. As with any product, read the manufacturer's use and care booklet for installation and maintenance guidelines.
