Display Readings

The following tables contain vital information about the vari- ous readings you may see on your display. We suggest you keep this User’s Guide handy for reference.

Your new Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a sophisticated electronic device – yet very simple to understand. Basically, the unit will display a “0” if it does not sense CO and if you have a good 9 volt backup battery installed.

If your alarm senses carbon monoxide, it will display a read- ing in parts per million of CO.

If the backup battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunc- tions it will display other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you that something is wrong with the alarm.

Please familiarize yourself and other family members to the difference between a CO reading and a reading signifying a problem with the alarm itself.
