CHAPTER 4: Testing and Maintenance

WEEKLY TESTING

Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until a loud alarm sounds— 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The alarm sequence should last for 5-6 seconds. If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.

If the CO Alarm is not working properly, refer to the “Limited Warranty” at the end of this manual.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

To keep the CO Alarm in good working order:

Test it every week using the Test/Silence button.

Vacuum the CO Alarm cover at least twice a year, using the soft brush attachment. Test the Alarm again after vacuuming.

WARNING!

The Test/Silence button is the only proper way to test the CO Alarm. NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty.

WARNING!

DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

CAUTION!

DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the CO Alarm. DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so may permanently damage the CO Alarm.

IMPORTANT!

Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect the sensor. When using any of these materials near the alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated.

IMPORTANT!

If your home is being fumigated, unplug the unit temporarily and put it where it will not be exposed to chemicals or fumes. When fumigation is complete and all traces of fumes clear, plug the unit back in and retest it.
