Your CO alarm was not built well. Or it has an IR triggered test function.

yah, i've seen some that can be tested/silenced(in case of false alarm) using almost any remote's on/off button or similar. and since the TV-B-Gone has long range and wide angles it can hit it from about any were i would guess

That's interesting to know.

Possibly another good way to cause havoc? :mrgreen:

i don't think any commercial place would have one set off by IR, and even if it did, if you got caught, i think you could get arrested for that, as that would probably be called inducing panic, the same thing as why you can't run into a movie theater and yell "fire"
