Remove the three enclosed AA
batteries and install them into the
battery well. Carefully place the
red battery warning flags into the
battery well. Observe the battery
polarity markings at the bottom of
the battery well.
When the batteries are first
installed, the unit will beep once and the red alarm light will
flash. After approximately 20-30 seconds the green light will
flash indicating that the unit is operational. Replace battery
cover. Your Kidde CO alarm is now operational.
Installation Location
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can
hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install
only one
carbon monoxide alarm in your home, install the alarm near
bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

Mounting
1. Using the template provided (see
page 18). Mark the location on wall.
2. Insert the two screws provided until
the screw heads are approximately
1/8” from wall. (If mounting in
plaster board or drywall, drill 3/16”
hole and use the plastic anchors
provided.)
3. Hook the Kidde CO Alarm unit over the screws onto
keyholes in back of unit.
Seven (7) years after initial power up, this unit will "chirp"
every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the
alarm. After seven years the device may no longer detect car-
bon monoxide accurately and should be replaced immediately.
To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been
affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the "Replace by" date (7
years from power up) in permanent marker on the label.
Where To Install Your Kidde CO Alarm
The following suggestions are intended to help you with
the placement and installation of your Kidde CO alarm.
• Place out of the reach of children. Under no circumstance
should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
• Install in a bedroom or hallway located close to the
sleeping area. Take special care to verify the alarm can
be heard in sleeping areas.
• It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each
level of a multilevel home.
• Locate at least 5 feet away from all fuel burning appliances.
• Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of
the red and green indicator lights.

places, furnaces or
hot water heaters.
