HOW TO INSTALL

YOUR CO ALARM

WARNING!

This CO Alarm can not operate without continuous electricity. It does not operate during a power failure. Do not use in an extension cord, or outlet controlled by a dimmer or switch—unit must have a constant power supply.

CAUTION!

Leave your CO Alarm plugged in year-round. CO problems can occur any time during the year, and this alarm can only alert you if it is plugged in and receiving power.

1.Plug the unit into a standard UNSWITCHED 120V AC outlet. In horizontally or vertically positioned wall outlets, mount unit with Test/Silence button facing upward.

2.Make sure green light shines when you plug in the unit. It will shine continuously when unit is receiving power. The horn will “chirp” once during power up, or when power is restored after an outage.

3.Test by pressing the Test/Silence button

firmly until the unit sounds: 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The sequence should last 5-6 seconds. During testing, the green, yellow, and red lights flash. This is normal. “888” will appear on the Digital Display.

4.While testing the unit, have a family member check that the horn can be easily heard from the sleeping areas. The unit should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night.

5.Find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this CO alarm.

•On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician.

•Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.

NOTE:

A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”
