Step 6
While testing the CO alarm, have someone else check that the alarm
can be heard easily from the sleeping areas. The CO alarm should be
located where it can wake you if it alarms at night. See page 1-5 for
complete information on the best locations for your CO alarm.
Caution:
Continuous exposure to the loud 85 decibel alarm at close
range over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
That’s it. Your Nighthawk CO alarm is now monitoring for the presence
of carbon monoxide.

Quick Set Up Guide
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Warm up time from initial switch on and after a
power failure is one minute.
Listed below are six easy steps for setting up your Nighthawk CO
alarm. Please read the entire guide for complete information.
Setting up your CO alarm for first time operation:
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is in or
near bedrooms. Refer to page 1-5 for complete information.
Step 2
Mount the CO alarm on the wall at eye level using the hardware
provided. Eye level is the best position to easily see the alarm. For
detailed mounting instructions refer to pages 1-7,8.
Step 3
Plug the CO alarm into a standard, unswitched 240 volt AC electric
outlet. You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the alarm is
receiving power. Refer to page 1-8 for more details.
Step 4
The green Operate light will come on and stay on showing the CO
alarm is receiving power.
Step 5
Next, test the alarm’s operation by pressing and releasing the Test/Reset
button. After approximately 5 seconds, the unit will begin to alarm. The
alarm will last approximately 5 seconds. The alarm is pulsating and
quite loud. We recommend you place your finger over the sounder
alarm hole when testing your CO alarm. This is also the alarm cycle in
the event of a CO problem. Familiarise yourself and household
members with this alarm pattern. The red Alarm light will come on
when the alarm sounds. For complete testing information, refer to page
1-9.
