Quick Set Up
We urge you to read this entire manual
in the sequence it is presented.
Listed below are five easy steps for setting up your Kidde CO
alarm for operation. Please read the entire guide for complete
information.
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is
in or near bedrooms. Refer to
Recommended Locations
for
complete information.
Step 2
For model KN-COB-LCB-A remove the yellow pull-tab or install
the battery shipped with your unit. Plug the CO alarm into a
standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet.
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 other residents in the home with this alarm pattern.
The red alarm light will come on when the alarm sounds.
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. Your Kidde CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence
of carbon monoxide.
