Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-
ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose
the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 0° C or
hotter than 40° C such as crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages.
• Do not install within 1.5m. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde
recommends 3m. to prevent nuisance alarms).
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air
ventilation openings.
• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly
exposed to the weather.
• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide
early warning.
• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than
optimum performance.
• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the
alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air
to the vents.
3. Installation Locations
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED (INCLUDING THE BATTERY).
THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
This alarm has lithium batteries permanently sealed inside the alarm, no
battery installation or maintenance is necessary.
The alarm is shipped turned off and is activated the first time the
mounting bracket is attached. To activate the alarm: for wall mounting,
install the mounting bracket using the instructions below and slide the
alarm until it snaps into place. Alternately for table top applications, sim-
ply slide the bracket on to the unit until snaps in place.
Note: Numerous or prolonged period of alarming is not typical and
will consume the battery capacity, shortening the life of the product.
Extensive cycling between high and low temperatures will significantly
reduce battery life. Long term exposure to high temperatures will
degrade the battery over time. Kidde recommends locating this alarm in
a controlled temperature environment (20-30ºC) for optimum life.
After installing your alarm, test it by using the Test/Reset button and
check that the green “Power” LED blinks on.
