CHAPTER 4: Testing and Maintenance

WEEKLY TESTING

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.

Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until you hear a “chirp.” The “chirp” marks the start of the self-test sequence.

•First, the BATTERY (green) and

SERVICE (yellow) lights will flash briefly— this is normal.

•Next, the alarm horn will sound: 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The ALARM (red) light will flash quickly.

The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make sure the battery is correctly installed, and test it again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

NOTE:

When you press and hold the Test/Silence button, if the battery is low or weak, the BATTERY light will flash YELLOW. Even if the horn sounds, you should replace a low or weak battery immediately for optimum performance.

If the alarm does not test properly:

1.Make sure the battery is installed correctly.

2.Be sure the alarm is clean and dust-free.

3.Install a fresh 9V alkaline or lithium battery* and test the alarm again.

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

CAUTION!

If there is still a problem, do not try to fix the alarm yourself—this will void your warranty! Install a new CO Alarm immediately. CO Alarms under warranty can be returned to BRK Brands, Inc. for replacement (see Limited Warranty for details).

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.

*For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “Regular Maintenance.”
