FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM
Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. See Chapter 5 “What You Need to Know About CO.” BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

LATCHING ALARM: Unit was exposed to alarm levels of CO
LATCHING NOT ACTIVATED: Unit was not exposed
to alarm levels of CO
The Latching Alarm Indicator is activated after a CO Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of carbon monoxide. After CO levels drop below alarm levels, the red LED will begin to flash once every 5 seconds. It will continue to flash or “latch” until you clear it by pressing the test button.
This feature helps emergency responders, investiga- tors, or service technicians identify which unit(s) in your home were exposed to alarm levels of carbon monoxide. This can help investigators pinpoint the source of CO.
Interconnected Alarms
Latching Alarm Indicator shows which Alarm(s) in the series were exposed to alarm levels of carbon monoxide.
The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until you clear it, so it can alert you to a CO Alarm that occurred while you were away from home, even though CO present in the air has dropped below alarm levels.
