Since batteries are not installed in the unit at the factory, you will
need to install them.  Your Kidde unit will continue to remind
you to change the batteries for up to seven days after low
batteries are detected.

WARNING: Your Kidde CO alarm will not be operational
and will not monitor for CO levels without the
installation of three charged AA batteries.

Your Kidde CO alarm monitors for battery failure such as bad
or corroded connections, sudden battery failure and other
causes.

If the alarm senses any form of battery failure,

the unit will start chirping an audible alarm every 30
seconds, the green and red alarm light will flash.

The battery error warning will continue until new batteries are
placed in the unit, or until the remaining batteries become
completely exhausted.

Three AA batteries have been included with your purchase.
When replacing the batteries, we recommend use of the
following for a minimum of one year normal operation:

• Duracell MN1500   • Camelion Mignon LR6-AM3-1.5

• Energizer E91        • Rayovac 815

These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.

NOTE:

Ensure that you observe the polarities required during

installation. Incorrect battery insertion will make your 

CO alarm inoperable.
