3. Install according to model guidance for mounting height and distances from vents.
4. Use the test button monthly and check battery condition.
5. Replace batteries and expired units as the model instructions require.
6. If an alarm sounds or exposure is suspected, leave immediately and call local emergency services from outside; do not reenter to investigate.
