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 4 quick beeps followed by 5
seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condi-
tions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same pattern.

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.
