Quick Set Up Guide
We urge you to read this entire manual in the sequence it is presented. But, if you only read one part of this manual initially, read these two pages!
Listed below are five easy steps for setting up your Kidde CO alarm. Please read the entire guide for complete information.
Setting up your CO alarm for first time operation:
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is in or near bedrooms. Refer to page 11 for complete information.
Step 2
Plug the CO alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric out- let. You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the alarm is receiv- ing power. Refer to page 13 for more details.
Step 3
The green Operate light will come on and stay on showing the CO alarm is receiving power.
Step 4
Next, test the alarm’s operation by pressing and releasing the Test/Reset button. The unit will beep quickly 4 times – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 quick beeps. This is also the alarm cycle in the event of a CO problem. Familiarize yourself and household members with this alarm pattern. The red Alarm light will come on when the alarm sounds. For complete testing information, refer to page 15.

Step 5
While testing the CO alarm, have someone else check that the alarm can be heard easily from the sleeping areas. The CO alarm should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night. See page 11 for complete information on the best locations for your CO alarm.
Caution: Continuous exposure to the loud 85 decibel alarm at close range over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
That’s it. Your Kidde CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence of carbon monoxide.
