- CO Alarms don’t last indefinitely. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts.

Although the alarm and its component parts have undergone stringent tests and are designed to be very

reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Alarm weekly. The CO Alarm

sensor must be replaced after 5 years operation. The complete unit must be replaced after 10 years.

- CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible for their own

insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect

everyone from CO poisoning.

- CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but

the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning

of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.

- This CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, butane) or

other combustible gases. Fit combustion gas alarms to detect these.

WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE

EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS

WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.

8.2 Radio Communications

Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However,

due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some

limitations to be considered:

(i) Radio equipment, such as the Ei262 CO Alarm, should be tested regularly - at least weekly. This is to

determine whether there are sources of interference preventing communication. The radio paths may be

disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so regular testing will help identify these and other

faults, so that they can be rectified.

(ii) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies,

regardless of the House Coding.
