WHEN THE CO ALARM SIGNAL IS SILENCED:

The CO alarm Silence Feature can be activated

by pressing and releasing the Test/CO Silence button on the initiating alarm while in alarm condition.

The alarm will remain silent for approx. 5 minutes (with the red LED blinking on approx. every 10

seconds), depending on the level of CO detected. If CO levels drop below alarm levels, the alarm

will remain silent and return to normal operation. If CO levels remain constant or increase, this

indicates a potentially dangerous situation and the horn will sound again. Ventilate area.

IMPORTANT!

The Silence feature is intended to temporarily silence the alarm horn. It will not correct a CO or

Natural Gas problem. The Gas Alarm signal cannot be silenced.

BACKUP BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Disconnect AC power before changing battery. Shock hazard exists if AC power is

miswired.

The alarm uses a 9 Volt battery. The battery should last for at least one year under normal operating

conditions. The alarm has a low battery indicator, an audible beep or chirp. It will operate at approx.

40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When this indication occurs, replace the battery with

an Alkaline type (Energizer #522, Duracell #MN1604, Zeus 9V), or Lithium type (Energizer LA522,

REPAIRS AND SERVICES

If this alarm is defective in any way, do not tamper with it. Return the alarm for servicing. See warranty

for instructions. There will be a service charge for repairing out of warranty alarms.

WEEKLY TESTING
This alarm is designed to act as a monitor, not for use as a short-term testing device, to

perform a quick check for the presence of CO or gas. WARNING: Natural gas (methane)

is highly explosive. An attempt to test the unit by exposing it to natural gas outside of a

controlled labatory environment can produce an explosion and death. NEVER use a gas

CO AND NATURAL GAS ALARM LIMITATIONS

Alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO and Natural Gas alarms are not
foolproof.
CO and Natural Gas alarms have a limited operational life. Your alarm must be tested weekly,
EHFDXVHLWFRXOGIDLOWRRSHUDWHDWDQ\WLPH,I\RXU$ODUPIDLOVWRWHVWSURSHUO\RULILWVVHOIGLDJQRVWLF
test reveals a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced (see last page for warranty
information).
CO and Natural Gas alarms can only sense CO which reaches the alarm’s sensor. Carbon monoxide
may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm.
CO or gas could be present on one level of the home and not reach the alarm installed on a different
level. For example, CO or gas in the basement may not reach an alarm on the second level, near
the bedrooms. For this reason, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO
and Natural Gas alarm on every level of the home.
CO and Natural Gas alarms are not a substitute for property, disability, life or other insurance of
any kind. Appropriate coverage is your responsibility.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances, such as;

or cooktops, gas clothes dryers.

Improper use of appliances/devices;

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

([FHVVLYHVSLOODJHRUUHYHUVHYHQWLQJRIIXHOEXUQLQJDSSOLDQFHVFDXVHGE\RXWGRRUDPELHQW

conditions, such as:

•

Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/
humid air with extended periods between cycles).

•

Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

•

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM CO POISONING?

This alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before

carbon monoxide levels become threatening to the average, healthy adult.

An alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.
