Battery Installation and Replacement
This CO alarm must be installed by a competent person.
To install or replace the batteries in this Kidde CO alarm, please perform
the following steps.
1. Slide open the bottom cover to expose the battery compartment.
2. If replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and properly dispose of
them as recommended by the battery
manufacturer.
3. Install the new batteries. Note the
polarity illustration in the battery
compartment.
4. Close the bottom cover. Note: The
bottom cover will not close if all three
AA batteries are not installed.
When replacing the batteries, use one of
the following approved brands:
• Duracell
MN1500 or MX1500
• Energizer
E91
• GoldPeak
15A
• Golden Power GLR6A
These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a
local hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental
effect on the alarm operation.
IMPORTANT:
Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce
battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once
a year.
After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your alarm. Test your
alarm by using the Test/Reset button and check that the green “Power”
LED is on.
4. Installation Instructions
Mounting
This CO alarm can be either wall mounted
or placed on a tabletop.
For wall mounting, follow these steps:
1. Mark the location of the two holes
needed on the wall using the battery
door as a template. Placing at eye level
allows for optimum monitoring of the
red and green indicator lights, or,
as a guide, 1.5 metres from the floor.
2. Insert the two screws provided until
the screw heads are protruding
approximately 1/8” from the wall.
(If mounting in a plasterboard or
drywall, drill a 3/16” hole in the
wall and use the plastic anchors
provided.)
3. Hook the CO alarm over the
screws and onto the keyholes in
the back of the alarm.
Your CO alarm may also be placed
on a tabletop. Simply place in a
location that is easily visible. Be sure the alarm is no more than 1 metre
from the floor.
Important Labels Provided
Two labels have been provided that have important information on what
to do in case of an alarm. Place one label next to the alarm after it is
mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door or window.
