Part One – Your Kidde CO Alarm

Normal Operating Characteristics

When you first power up the alarm, the red alarm light will come on and the alarm will sound briefly, then the green operate light will come on. All this is to let you know the CO alarm is receiv- ing power and that the alarm circuit is functioning.

Within a few minutes, your carbon monoxide alarm will start moni- toring for CO and will continue to do so as long as it receives power.

Your Kidde CO alarm will now sample the air every fifteen seconds and alert you if it senses dangerous CO levels.

For more information about the effects of CO exposure at

different levels over time, refer to the chart on 23 as well as the infor- mation on pages 24-26.

When the CO alarm is unplugged or loses power, a fading alarm will sound briefly to alert you that it has been disconnected from its power source. For example, this fading alarm will sound in the event of a power outage. A brief alarm will also sound to alert you when the power is restored.
