Description:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you're in danger at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air.
The First Alert CO600 carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. Installation is as simple as plugging it in to any wall outlet. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The unit monitors and re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. UL listed.--Bree Norlander

Manual for First Alert CO600Apr 20, 2008
By John C. Darrow "jcdarrow"
The manual is at http://www.firstalert.com/pdfs/2007/06/08/m08-0152-002e_co600_web.pdf

The product is simple and easy to install - just plug it in.

DO NOT LOCATE THIS CO ALARM:
* In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty,
dirty or greasy areas.
* Closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel
burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater.
* Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
* In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3
meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher,
laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.
* In areas where temperature is colder than 40° F (4° C) or hotter
than 100° F (38° C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl
spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings,
porches, and garages.
* In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners,
fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO
from reaching the sensors.
* In direct sunlight.
* In outlets covered by curtains or other obstruction.

Simple to use, works wellNov 06, 2007
By Comdet
I purchased this for my Mom, who has a very low tolerance for any type of electronics that has more than one button. This fits the bill perfectly -- just plug it in, and it works. Other models have more advanced features, such as a digitial display or a batter backup, but if you're looking for simplicity and a low cost, this is a great choice.

No Brainer!Jan 07, 2008
By C. Munoz "Cinexcess"
I chose this alarm because it was the easiest to use. Just plug it in and that's it. I have a gas fireplace and was told that I needed a carbon monoxide detector. Plugged into a regular outlet, it has a dim light to let you know that it's working and you can test the monitor at any time to make sure it's "alarmed." Hopefully, I'll never have to see how well the monitor works in an emergency but I feel safer knowing that I have one.

Carbon Monoxide DetectorMar 26, 2008
By Michael R. DiPrima
This product works as advertised. It is simplicity itself to install, and does not cover up all outlets when plugged in. This indicated to me that some thought went into its design. I purchased 2 units, and both are working perfectly.

NOTE: DOES NOT COMPLY WITH NEW COLORADO LAWJul 09, 2009
By D. Graham
I just ordered this item for a rental unit and was informed by my property manager that this specific model does NOT comply with Colorado law, which requires plug-in units to have a battery back-up. If you are ordering in this to comply with new state regulations, make sure you are buying the right model. I've asked Amazon to note it on the website, but thought I'd just alert everyone in the mean time.

5/2/2012 Update
I have put a 1 star on this product purely to call attention to the fact that Colorado require battery backup plug-in carbon monoxide alarms, and all buyers should verify the requirement in their respective states. Recently, my claim has been put to question, so I feel compelled to respond.

In the very first section of CO House Bill 09-1091, (1)-(c), it states clearly that if a carbon monoxide alarm is a device that if plugs into an electrical outlet (which is the case of this specific product), must also have a battery backup (which this product does not offer). See below:

(1) "CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM" MEANS A DEVICE THAT DETECTS CARBON MONOXIDE AND THAT:
(a) PRODUCES A DISTINCT, AUDIBLE ALARM;
(b) IS LISTED BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED, INDEPENDENT PRODUCT-SAFETY TESTING AND CERTIFICATION LABORATORY TO CONFORM TO THE STANDARDS FOR CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS ISSUED BY SUCH LABORATORY OR ANY SUCCESSOR STANDARDS;
(c) IS BATTERY POWERED, PLUGS INTO A DWELLING'S ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND HAS A BATTERY BACKUP, IS WIRED INTO A DWELLING'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND HAS A BATTERY BACK-UP, OR IS CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VIA AN ELECTRICAL PANEL; AND
(d) MAY BE COMBINED WITH A SMOKE DETECTING DEVICE IF THE COMBINED DEVICE COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE LAW REGARDING BOTH SMOKE DETECTING DEVICES AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS AND THAT THE COMBINED UNIT PRODUCES AN ALARM, OR AN ALARM AND VOICE SIGNAL, IN A MANNER THAT CLEARLY DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN THE TWO HAZARDS.
