Battery Replacement (for XC01P-R)
Limitations of CO Alarms
WARNING
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE APPARATUS, AS THERE IS A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR MALFUNCTION.
Remove the old battery and replace with a CR123A or CR2/3A battery (a Huiderui CR123A or Pairdeer CR2/3A battery is
recommended) when the LCD displays the
“Lb” message and the LED indicator flashes yellow once every 60 seconds with the
buzzer chirping.
After changing the battery, the buzzer will beep once, the LCD backlight will light up, and the LED indicator will flash through
8 cycles (yellow/green/red). Reinstall your alarm and test it by pressing the test/silence button.
NOTE:
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with this device.
1. CO alarms may not wake up all individuals. If children or others do not readily awaken to the sound of the CO alarm, or if there
are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone assists them in the event of an emergency.
2. This CO alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach the sensor. This CO alarm will only detect CO that
reaches the sensor. CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches
the CO alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed at night, it is recommended that you install a CO alarm in
each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
3. CO alarms may not sense CO on another level of the house. For example, a CO alarm on the second level, near the
bedrooms, may not sense CO in the basement. For this reason, one CO alarm may not give an adequate warning. Complete
coverage is recommended by placing CO alarms on each level of the house.
4. CO alarms may not be heard. The alarm buzzer noise level is over 85 dB at a distance of 3 m (10 feet). However, if the CO
alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not awaken a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been
drinking alcohol. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partially open. Even persons who are awake may not hear
the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereos, radios, televisions, air
conditioners, or other appliances may even prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This CO alarm is not intended
for people who are hearing impaired.
5. CO alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a source of carbon monoxide, this CO alarm does not
sense smoke or fire. This CO alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed from malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, or
other possible sources of incomplete combustion. The installation of a smoke alarm is required for an early warning of fire.
6. CO alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO alarms warn against increasing CO levels, we do not
warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and renters must still insure their
lives.
