Features and Operation of Digital Display and
Test/Reset Button
The test/reset button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to reset the unit during alarm.
Test the unit:
To test, press the test/reset button. Test the unit weekly!
The unit will perform a self diagnostic test by cycling through the alarm pattern.
Familiarize yourself and family members with the alarm pattern. A CO alarm is 4 short beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short beeps. This cycle will repeat in the event of a CO alarm. This cycle will continue for the first 4 minutes of a CO alarm and then change to one cycle every one minute until the device is reset or the CO is eliminated.
Note: For Digital Display Models
After the test/reset button is pressed, numbers appear on the display. These are not CO readings and are part of the internal testing process. Ignore these numbers !
