WARNING!
TEST YOUR CO ALARM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK:
To test your alarm, press the
TEST/RESET
button on the cover and hold it down for a
minimum of 2 seconds until the red LED glows, then release. This test will simulate a
CO concentration of approximately 150 ppm CO gas. The alarm will sound 4 short
beeps, followed by a 5 second pause, and then 4 more short beeps if all of the electronic
circuitry and buzzer are working correctly. The current and peak CO levels, and peak
duration, will also be automatically displayed for models 7035 and 7035SL. See Section

To mute the audible signal during a “low battery” condition, press the
TEST/RESET
button. The green LED will blink for the first 5 seconds, the models 7035/7035SL will
display “OFF” at the same time, and the horn will be temporarily silenced for 24 hours.
When the audible signal reactivates, you can continue to mute the horn for an additional
24 hour period by again pressing the
TEST/RESET
button. The horn can only be turned
off during the first 7 days of the “low battery” signal activation. After 7 days, the alarm
will return to its normal “low battery” condition; 1 chirp per minute, green LED blinks for 5
seconds at the same time, and models 7035/7035SL continuously display “bAt”. See
Section 5 for information regarding battery replacement.
To test your alarm during a “low battery” condition, press and hold
TEST/RESET
button for minimum 2 seconds when the audible signal is not sounding.
To mute the audible signal during an “End-of-Life” condition, press the
TEST/RESET
button. The red LED will glow for the first second, the models 7035/7035SL will display
“OFF” at the same time, and the horn will be temporarily silenced for 60 hours. When
the audible signal reactivates, you can continue to mute the horn for an additional 60
hour period by again pressing the
TEST/RESET
button. The horn can only be turned off
during the first 30 days of the “End-of-Life” signal activation. After 30 days, the alarm will
return to its normal “End-of-Life” condition; 1 chirp per minute, red LED glows for 1
second at the same time, and the models 7035/7035SL continuously display “End”.
To test your alarm during an “End-of-Life” condition, press and hold
TEST/RESET
button for minimum 2 seconds when audible signal is not sounding.
The audible signal cannot be muted when alarm is in “trouble” condition; chirps twice
per minute, red LED blinks for 5 seconds at the same time, and models 7035/7035SL
continuously display “Err”. See Section 12 for information regarding service.
WARNING!
The loudness of the alarm sound may cause you to feel
uncomfortable. Cover the horn opening with the palm of your hand to reduce the
loudness while testing unit.
WARNING!
TEST YOUR CO ALARM IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR
HOME HAS BEEN VACANT.
DO NOT TRY TO TEST THIS ALARM IN ANY OTHER WAY:
If no alarm sounds or
low or erratic sound emits from the alarm during a test, check battery power. If alarm
still does not sound properly, the unit may be defective and should be returned for
service. (See Section 12)
