How to Install Your CO Alarm cont.
11. Firmly
PRESS AND RELEASE THE
TEST/RESET button.
See Figure 7. The
alarm should sound a short tone. The amber
service light will turn on, and the CO alarm
will go through its test cycle. The red LED
will flash, and the alarm will beep four times
followed by 5 seconds of silence and then
repeat the cycle. After the test cycle, amber
service light will turn off, and the green
power light will remain lighted which means
that the CO alarm is operating properly.
12. If the alarm is interconnected to other CO alarms, press and hold the RESET/TEST
button until the red light turns on. Other interconnected alarms will also beep four
times followed by 5 seconds of silence. The red alarm light on other alarms will not
light during this test.
13. Two self-adhesive labels have been provided with instructions indicating what to do
if the alarm sounds. Add the phone numbers of your emergency services provider
and a qualified technician to each label. Place one of the labels in a visible area next
to the alarm, and place the other label near a source of fresh air which will be used
as a gathering place if the alarm sounds.
How to Operate Your CO Alarm
This carbon monoxide alarm has been evaluated by UL and meets the applicable
UL standards and requirements.
This CO alarm has a three light and sound alarm
system:
On
Green indicator constantly on indicates unit is receiving AC power.
Service
Amber indicator flashing and alarm horn beeping every thirty sec-
onds indicates unit fault. Press and release the TEST/RESET button.
If the alarm returns to displaying the fault signal, the CO alarm is not

Alarm
Red indicator flashes and alarm horn sounds four fast beeps and then
is quiet for 5 seconds.
Low Battery
The unit will emit a chirp once every 30 seconds when the battery is
low and needs to be replaced.
When the CO concentration builds to a level that is equal to 70 ppm or greater for
the duration identified within the standard, the following will occur:
• The alarm light and sound signals will activate. See the “What To Do If Your Alarm
Sounds” section of this manual for important action steps to be taken.
• If you wish to press the TEST/RESET button during this time, the alarm will
become quiet for approximately four minutes. The alarm signals will be reener-
gized within 4 minutes from the time the reset button is pressed if the concentra-
tion of carbon monoxide surrounding the alarm remains at 70 ppm or greater.
• The alarm will remain silent if the CO concentration has decreased below the
alarm level of the standard. See “What To Do If Your Alarm Sounds” section of
this manual for important action steps to be taken.
• The alarm will continue for as long as the condition exists.
The alarm will not permanently end its alarm mode until the concentration of CO
has been reduced to a safe level.
