When the 900-0235 CO alarm loses power:

If you have a good 9V battery

installed, the alarm will automatically switch to the battery backup mode and
the green LED will flash approximately every 10 seconds. The unit will continue
to operate normally and detect CO for at least 20 hours.

If the battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will alarm
differently to alert you of specific conditions. Please familiarize yourself, and
other family members, of the difference between a CO alarm and an
indication signifying a problem with the unit.

When AC power is restored, the alarm will automatically switch back to
normal operating mode and the green LED will come on continuously.
Observe the CO alarm regularly to make sure the green Operate LED is on,
indicating normal operation. If the green Operate LED is not on, unplug the
CO alarm, then plug it in again. This will clear the alarm for restart. If the
green operate LED does not light, your CO alarm may be malfunctioning.

The following table describes the audible alarm patterns and the
recommended actions to take.
