1.ALARM DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TEST BUTTON:

(1)Check that the green mains power light is on. If it is off check the wiring, fuse, circuit breakers etc.

(2)Hold the test button down for at least 5 seconds.

2. ALARM BEEPS AND AMBER LIGHT FLASHES EVERY 40 SECONDS:

If the alarm beeps and the amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds, the CO sensor is probably defec- tive. Press the test/hush button to reset the unit. If the beeping and the amber light flashing re-occurs replace sensor module.

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

Rechargeable cells depleted. Re-connect mains if green light is off.

4. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:

Follow the detailed instructions on the top of page 2. entitled “What to do when the alarm sounds”. If there are still problems:

(1)Ensure there are no fuel-burning appliances in the

vicinity which could be leaking CO gas (e.g. even from next door).
