press and release the test/reset button, you should hear one short beep – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short beeps with a

corresponding red LED flash. Familiarize yourself and family members with the alarm pattern.

Test the unit weekly! If at any time your unit does not perform as described replace it immediately.

Note: After the test/reset button is pressed, the alarm sounds and the red alarm light flashes. This does not indicate that carbon monoxide is present.

Due to the loudness of the alarm we suggest you place your fingers over the sounder opening when testing your Kidde CO Alarm.

•Reset the unit - If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. Reactivation times depend on the amount of CO that caused the CO alarm to initially alarm and the amount of CO present after resetting the alarm (see page 11, Alarm Instructions/Emergency Response).

the installation of three charged AA batteries.

Your Kidde CO alarm monitors for battery failure such as bad or corroded connections, sudden battery failure and other causes. If the alarm senses any form of battery failure, the unit will start chirping an audible alarm every 30 seconds, the green and red alarm light will flash.

The battery error warning will continue until new batter- ies are placed in the unit, or until the remaining batteries become completely exhausted.

Three AA batteries have been included with your pur- chase. When replacing the batteries, we recommend use of the following for a minimum of one year normal operation:

• Duracell MN1500 • Camelion Mignon LR6-AM3-1.5

• Energizer E91

• Rayovac LR6

These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.

KN-OOB-B specifications

The Kidde KN-OOB-B is a leading-edge carbon monoxide (CO) alarm designed to provide safety and peace of mind for households. This essential device is engineered to detect the presence of carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal in high concentrations. The KN-OOB-B features advanced sensor technology and an array of characteristics that position it as a top choice for CO detection.

One of the main features of the Kidde KN-OOB-B is its digital display, which not only shows CO levels in parts per million (ppm) but also provides critical information on battery status and alerts. This user-friendly feature allows homeowners to monitor the CO levels in real-time, making it easier to respond to potential dangers promptly. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a peak level memory function that records the highest levels of CO detected, helping users track exposure and maintain safety.

The Kidde KN-OOB-B employs microprocessor technology, which enhances its detection capabilities. This technology ensures precise monitoring and reduces the likelihood of false alarms, a common concern with CO detectors. The alarm is designed to activate at or above 70 ppm, providing an audible alert when CO levels become dangerous. Furthermore, the unit is equipped with a test/reset button, allowing users to easily check its functionality or silence the alarm in case of non-threatening conditions.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Kidde KN-OOB-B is its battery operation. This model uses a 9V battery, which provides the advantage of continued operation during power outages. The low battery warning feature ensures that users are alerted when the battery needs replacement, further enhancing the reliability of this vital safety device.

Installation and maintenance of the Kidde KN-OOB-B are straightforward. The compact design allows for flexible placement in various locations within the home, ensuring optimal performance. Regular maintenance is minimized as the unit is equipped with a sealed battery compartment that eliminates the hassle of battery replacement in the typical lifespan of the alarm.

Overall, the Kidde KN-OOB-B is a robust and reliable carbon monoxide alarm that combines advanced technology with user-friendly features. Its ability to detect CO accurately, alongside its digital display and peak level memory, makes it a worthy investment for any household concerned about safety from carbon monoxide exposure.
