Plug the CO alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC elec- tric outlet.

Step 3

Step 4

Next, test the alarm’s operation by pressing and releasing the Test/Reset button. The unit will beep quickly 4 times – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 quick beeps. This is also the alarm cycle in the event of a CO problem. Familiarize your- self and household members with this alarm pattern. The red alarm light will come on when the alarm sounds.

While testing the CO alarm, have someone else check that the alarm can be heard easily from the sleeping areas. The CO alarm should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night.

Your Kidde CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence of car- bon monoxide.
