•Push the excess wire back into the elec-
trical box.
•Install the alarm in the electrical box using the four screws provided.
•Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

5. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is four (4) quick beeps followed by five (5) seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO conditions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same pattern (and the PPM will be displayed on alarms with digital displays). The amber LED (Initiating Alarm) of the unit(s) which has (have) detected the CO, will light for the duration of the alarm.
WARNING: When powered by battery backup only, after four minutes, the alarm will sound and flash only once every minute, until the alarm is reset or the CO is eliminated.
If this unit is interconnected with other Kidde CO alarms, the amber LED (Initiating Alarm) of the unit which has detected the CO, will light for the duration of the alarm. The other interconnected CO alarms will also alarm to warn you that CO was detected but the amber LED will NOT light.
If interconnected to other Kidde alarms and the backup battery (if equipped) is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions. Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference between a CO reading and and indication signifying a problem with the unit itself.
WARNING: If at any time you test the alarm and it does not perform as described, have it replaced immediately.
Smoke Alarm Indicator (interconnected with CO Alarms)
When an interconnected Kidde smoke alarm detects smoke, the Kidde CO alarm will sound a smoke/fire alarm pattern of three (3) long beeps, followed by one (1) second of silence. This cycle repeats as long as smoke signal persists to alert you of the condition. The word “Fire” will scroll across the digital display. If this happens, leave the premises imme- diately by your escape plan and call your local fire department.
WARNING: This unit is not a smoke alarm and will not detect smoke or fire. It will only alarm for smoke/fire if it receives a signal from an inter- connected Kidde smoke alarm.
NOTE: A smoke/fire alarm will override a CO alarm condition.
