Technical Information

Replacement of the Alarm

Seven years after initial power-up, this unit will “chirp” every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm.

Alabel has been provided that has “replace by:” printed on it. Write the replace by date on the label and affix it to the front of the alarm so that it is visible after mounting, The date written on the label should be after seven (7) years of cumulative power.

REPLACE THE ALARM IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN THIS CONDITION.

Display Readings and What They Mean

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 carbon monoxide and if you have a good 9V backup battery installed.

If it senses carbon monoxide, it will display a reading so you can see if you have a non-threatening or emergency situation.

However, if the backup battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions 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.
