The CO Memory Fe ature lets you check the highes t level of CO recorde d during an alarm.

NOTE: These bars will not appear whe n CO accumulation is low. The bars will be

displayed w hen unit is ex posed fo r a longer time and CO accumulatio n is higher.

TO CHECK CO MEMORY:

1. Press and release the Test But ton until the peak C O level is displayed.

TO CLE AR CO MEM ORY:

1. Automatically resets after 24 hours.

2. a. Press and r elease Test B utton until blue backlight glows.

INS TALL ATION

WHERE TO INSTALL CO AL ARMS

The National Fire Protec tion As sociat ion (NFPA) recommends t hat a CO Alarm should be centr ally located outside of each s eparat e sleeping a rea in the immediate vicinity of the bedro oms. For added

protec tion, ins tall addi tional C O Alarms in each sepa rate bedroom, and o n every level of your hom e.

If your bedroom hall way is longe r than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO Alar m at BOT H ends of the hallway.

In a Singl e-leve l Home:

• Install at least o ne CO Ala rm near or within each separat e sleeping a rea.

• For added protection, install an additional C O Alarm at least 2 0 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heatsource.

In a Multi-level H ome:

• Install at least o ne CO Ala rm near or within each separat e sleeping a rea.

• For added protection, install at lea st one CO A larm on each level of the home. If yo u have a basement, ins tall that CO Alar m at the top o f the basement stairs.

• For added protection, install an additional C O Alarm at least 2 0 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In a Mobil e Home:

• Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside w alls and ro ofs of mobile homes often transfer he at and cold from outdoors.

WHERE CO ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

DO NOT install t his CO A larm:

• In garages, kitchens, fur nace rooms, or in any ex tremely dusty, dir ty or greasy areas.

• Closer t han 20 feet (6 meters) from a fur nace or other fuel bur ning heat source, or fuel burning applianc es like a water heater.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meter s) of any cooking appliance.

• In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at lea st 10 feet (3 me ters) fr om a bath or shower, sauna , humidifier, vaporizer, dis hwasher,

laundry room, utility ro om or other source of high humidit y. Const ant expo sure to high or low humidity, may reduc e batte ry life.

• In areas w here temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚ F (37.8˚ C ). These a reas include unconditioned

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 ret urns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching t he sensors.

• In direct sunlight.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM

Read “Where To Ins tall CO Alarms” before starting.

Before you start installation, find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this C O Alarm. O n each label write in the phone numb er of your eme rgency re sponder ( like

911) and a qualified applian ce technician. Place one label near the CO A larm, an d the other label in the “fresh a ir” location you plan to go if the a larm sounds.

NOTE: Activate alarm prior to mounting.

1. Activating the Battery. Move the activation switch to ON position. Utilize a small tool to help

activate switch i f needed. O nce unit is activated, it cannot be turned off.

NOTE: Horn chir ps, and all segment s are turned on for a sho rt time up on activation.

2. Test the CO Alar m. See “We ekly Testin g”.

3. To Permanent ly Deac tivat e The Alarm. This C O Alarm contains a sealed, non-replaceable

battery. Once it r eaches th e end of its s ervice life, or af ter 10 years you must ins tall a new C O

Alarm. D eactivate the CO Alarm by inserting a tool below edge where shown and break tab.

Then slide activation switch to DEACT IVATE mode.

NOTE: Once you deactivat e this unit , it will not detect CO or alarm an d cannot be reactivated.

4. This CO Alarm can either be wall mounted or placed on a tabletop. If Alarm

is placed on a tabletop, be sure the Alarm is no more than 3 f eet (0.9 me ter)

from the f loor to minimize the risk of causing permanen t damage to t he

To Activat e the Sil ence Fe ature : Press and hold the Silence but ton until the horn is s ilent.

Once you a ctiva te the Si lence F eatur e: the Silence cycle will last approximatel y 4 minutes .

NOTE: After i nitial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluate s present CO levels and respon ds accordingly. If CO

levels rema in potent ially dangerous -or star t rising hi gher- the horn will start sounding again.

While t he dete ctor is s ilenc ed:

If the CO A larm. .. This means...

Is silent for only 4 minutes, then starts sounding loudly —4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause CO levels are still potentially dangerous.

If the CO A larm. .. This means...

Remains silent after you pres sed the Silence but ton CO levels are dropping.
