Quick Set Up Guide
We urge you to read this entire manual
in the sequence it is presented.
Listed below are six easy steps for setting up your Carrier CO alarm. Please read this entire guide for complete information.
Setting up your alarm for first time operation:
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually
this is in or near bedrooms. The alarm should be located where it can wake you if it alarms at night. Refer to page 8 for installation location information.
Step 2
Your CO alarm is equipped to be mounted as a corded unit, a direct plug unit or a table top unit. In the “as shipped” configuration, the unit can be plugged directly into a wall socket. (If your outlets are mount- ed horizontally, please refer to page 11, “to rotate adapter”). If the transformer/adapter is taken out of the unit, the alarm can be mount- ed on the wall at eye level, while the transformer is plugged into a wall socket. The unit can also be set on a table if the support at the bottom of the unit is pulled out (see “rear view” illustration on page 10). Refer to pages
Step 3
A Carrier rechargeable battery pack is provided for backup in the event of a power outage. To install the battery pack, open the back door and align the connector with the slot in the battery. Insure the orientation of the two alignment ribs align with the slots in the battery case.
Press the connector in until it is fully seated. Depending on the charge state of the battery pack (the battery packs can have different amounts of energy stored in them due to storage time), you may hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the alarm is receiving power. Place battery pack into battery compartment and replace back door (refer to page 13).
Note: Battery backup will be limited until the battery has fully charged. It may take up to 24 hours for the battery back up to fully charge.
Step 4
Plug the alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet in one of the configurations listed in step 2.
