Product warnings and disclaimers

PRODUCT WARNINGS – FOR FIRE PRODUCTS ONLY

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATION INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THIS ALARM AND WILL PREVENT ITS RESPONSE TO FIRE HAZARDS.

WARNING: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS (85 DECIBELS) OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS STAND AN ARM’S LENGTH (ABOUT 2.5 FEET) AWAY FROM THE UNIT OR USE EAR PROTECTION WHEN TESTING.

HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE.  FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION, INDUSTRY EXPERTS (SUCH AS THE NFPA), RECOMMEND THAT BOTH IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE ALARMS BE INSTALLED TO HELP INSURE MAXIMUM DETECTION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF FIRES THAT CAN OCCUR WITHIN THE HOME.  IONIZATION SENSINGS ALARMS MAY DETECT INVISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH FLAMING FIRES) SOONER THAN PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS.   PHOTOELECTRIC SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT VISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW SMOLDERING FIRES) SOONER THAN IONIZATION ALARMS. 

PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR MUST ALWAYS BE WORN WHEN WORKING WITH PRESSURIZED CYLINDERS. NEVER SERVICE THE CYLINDER AND VALVE ASSEMBLY UNLESS THE ANTI-RECOIL PLATE AND VALVE PROTECTION PLATE ARE INSTALLED. DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.           

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHILE PERFORMING CYLINDER RECHARGE SHOULD A CHARGED CYLINDER BE ALLOWED TO “FREE STAND” WITHOUT EITHER THE CHARGING APPARATUS ATTACHED OR THE ANTI-RECOIL PLATE INSTALLED. WHEN­EVER THESE DEVICES ARE NOT INSTALLED, A CHARGED CYLINDER MUST BE SECURELY CLAMPED TO A RIGID STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING THE FULL THRUST THAT WOULD RESULT SHOULD THE VALVE INADVERTENTLY OPEN. OPENING OF THE VALVE WITHOUT EITHER THE CHARGING APPARATUS ATTACHED OR THE ANTI-RECOIL PLATE INSTALLED CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
