NOTE: YOUR CO ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON, AND IS TO BE
INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
After selecting the proper alarm location as described in the “Recommended Locations for CO Alarms” section,
you may choose either a wall mounting or free-standing installation.
Wall-mounting (recommended by the manufacturer, if possible)
1. Drill two holes in a wall 78 mm apart (you may wish to use the back-plate for guidance)
2. Insert the two wall plugs, that are supplied, into the holes
3. Insert the two screws as supplied into the holes ensuring enough of the screw sticks out of the wall
(approx. 3mm)
4. Hook the alarm back-plate over the screws
Free-standing
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL TO LOCATE A FREE-STANDING ALARM WHERE IT IS UNLIKELY TO BE KNOCKED TO THE
FLOOR, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS SECTION.
Ensure free-standing alarms are placed in the upright position, and not lying flat on a surface.
Activation
1. Remove the batteries from the pack and insert them into the battery compartment. Make sure that you fit
the batteries in accordance with the polarity markings (+ or -) within the battery compartment. If correctly
installed, the alarm will give a short beep.
2. Slide the alarm onto the back-plate.
The alarm is now activated! After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing
section.
