WARNING:

 

• DO NOT try fixing the Alarm yourself – this will void your warranty! If the CO Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is 

still under warranty, please see "How to Obtain Warranty Service" in the Limited Warranty. Install a new CO Alarm 

immediately. 

• The Test/Hush button is the only proper way to test the CO Alarm. NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause 

permanent damage and voids your warranty. 

For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY.” 

MAINTAINING YOUR CO ALARM 

Your alarm will alert you to potentially hazardous CO concentrations in your home when maintained properly. To maintain your 

alarm in proper working order, it is recommended that you:   

1.

 

Test your alarm at least once a week. 

2.

 

Clean your CO alarm regularly to prevent dust build up.

 

See

 “CLEAN THE CO ALARM” 

 

 

BATTERY REPLACEMENT 

Always 

turn off the AC supply 

to the CO alarm before replacing the battery.   

Replace battery at least once a year or immediately when the low battery signal sounds once a minute, even though the CO 

alarm is receiving AC power. Battery should be replaced regularly as necessary.   

WARNING: 

  Do not use any other type of battery, except as specified in this manual.   

Do not use rechargeable batteries. 

CAUTION

:  

Explosion will happen if battery is incorrectly replaced.   

You’d better use good battery to make the alarm work long. Some batteries can be used more than one year. 

The battery should only be replaced by a qualified electrician or similarly qualified person. 

1. Turn off AC power supply to the CO alarm.   

2. Remove the 2 tamperproof tabs fitted between the base plate and detector by tools. Turn CO alarm counterclockwise to 

detach it from the mounting plate.   

3. Gently pull down CO alarm.   

4. Remove battery from the compartment.   

5. Insert a new 9-volt battery to connector. 

NOTE POLARITY OF CONNECTIONS

. Ensure the metal tab is fully depressed 

when the battery has been fitted. 

6. Using the Push-to-Test button, test the CO alarm to verify 9V DC battery back-up. See 

TESTING THE CO ALARM

 

7. Reattach the CO alarm to the mounting plate by turning CO alarm clockwise until it snaps into place. Insert the two 

tamperproof tabs back into the notch on edge of CO alarm after alarm is properly positioned in base 

8. Turn on power supply and test CO alarm using push-to-test button. See 

TESTING THE CO ALARM

 

Note:

 If the unit fails to operate when being tested, Please refer to

 “TROUBLESHOOTING”

. If the problem still exits, please 

turn to local agent or manufacture for help. Do not attempt to remove the cover to solve the problem yourself. This will void 

your warranty.   

 

CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY: 

The unit requires one standard 9V battery. The expected life of normal carbon-zinc 9V battery is one year maximum under 

normal operation. The expected life of normal alkaline 9V battery is three years under normal operation. The following 

batteries are acceptable as replacements:
