Operation

Two labels have been provided that have important information on what to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency service provider in the space provided. Place one label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door or window.

Your new Kidde carbon monoxide alarm is a sophisticated electronic device – yet very simple to understand. The green “Power” LED will illuminate to identify the unit is monitoring for carbon monoxide. If it senses dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, the red “Alarm” LED will flash accompanied with an audible alarm pattern. (See page 13 for description of alarm patterns).

However, if interconnected to other Kidde alarms, or (If equipped) the backup battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions. Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference between a CO alarm and an alarm signifying a problem with the unit itself.

The table on Page 13 illustrates what the audible alarm patterns are, and what the recommended actions are.
