every 30 seconds and the digital display will show three “eights” – indi-
cating the alarm is in the start-up mode. The three “eights” will remain
for approximately 30 seconds. Then, the alarm will display “0” and

receives power.

This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30
PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds.
