Gas / CO Detectors:

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installing and testing the alarm.
  
• Place one Gas / CO alarm outside each area where people sleep, such as a hallway outside bedrooms.
  
• Sound the Gas / CO alarm for all household members so everyone can identify the difference between the Gas / CO alarm signal and the smoke alarm signal.
  
• Contact your fire department to learn the appropriate local emergency telephone number to call if you suspect Gas / CO poisoning in your home.
  
• Post all emergency response numbers by every telephone.
  
• Gas / CO alarms are different from smoke alarms, and have different functions. Gas / CO alarms do not provide early warning of a fire. Smoke alarms do not provide early warning of Gas / CO exposure. Your home needs both Gas / CO and smoke alarm protection.
