-Press the Test/Hush button for approximately 20 seconds to reset the unit. If the beeping and the amber light flashing re-occurs replace the sensor module.

3.ALARM BEEPS EVERY 40 SECONDS (without amber light flashing):

- Rechargeable cells depleted. Reconnect mains power if green light is off.

4. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:

Follow the detailed instructions in Section 1 on page 5 entitled “WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS”. If there are still problems:

-Ensure there are no fuel-burning appliances in the vicinity which could be leaking CO gas (e.g. even from next door).

-Ensure there are no fumes in the area (e.g. paint, thinners, alcohol, hair spray, chemical cleaners aerosol sprays etc).

-Ensure there is no outdoor source of CO in the vicinity (e.g. a car with engine running, heavy traffic, heavy air pollution, barbecue fumes etc).

-Press the Test/Hush button to silence the alarm.

If the unit continues to sound it is possibly defective and should be replaced. Follow the instructions in Section 9 “GETTING YOUR CO ALARM SERVICED”.

4. Test/Hush BUTTON DOES NOT SILENCE ALARMS:

If there are a number of alarms interconnected and they are all sounding, pressing the Test/Hush button on the unit sensing CO (i.e. the one with the red light flashing) will silence the system. Pressing any other Test/Hush button will not silence the alarms. The Test/Hush button will only silence the unit once at CO levels less than 300 ppm CO during a CO incident.
