Mounting
Your CO alarm is designed for
mounting onto the inside wall.
You should fix the back plate
provided to the wall first, using
the screws and rawl plugs.
When the plate is attached,
locate the slots on the back of
the alarm with the keys on the
back plate, sliding downwards
and into position until the tab clips onto the top of the alarm
(see figure 1).
To remove, press the tab against the wall and lift the alarm out of
the mounting plate.
Where To Install Your Nighthawk CO Alarm
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the
placement and installation of your Nighthawk CO Alarm.
Ideally, you should have a alarm in or near every room that contains
a fuel burning appliance.
However, if you have more than one appliance, but only one alarm,
you should take the following into consideration when deciding
where best to put the alarm.
If there is an appliance in the room where you sleep, you should
put the alarm in that room.
If there is an appliance in a room that you use a lot e.g. a sitting
room, you should put it in that room.
If you live in a bedsit, put the alarm as far away from the cooking
appliances as possible, but near to the place where you sleep.
If the appliance is in a room not normally used (e.g. a boiler room),
put the alarm just outside the room so that you will be able to hear
the alarm more easily.

Installation Instructions
Figure 1
Remove the three enclosed AA
batteries and install them into the
battery compartment. Carefully place
the red battery warning flags into the
battery well. Observe the battery
polarity markings at the bottom of
the battery compartment.
The display should read 888
(see figure 1).
After approximately 30 seconds the
888 display will disappear, and a
black dot in the lower right hand
corner will flash on and off at 5
second intervals (see figure 2).
Your Nighthawk CO Alarm is now operational.
