INTRODUCTION
BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important
operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.
Pay special attention to these items.
THIS IS NOT A SMOKE ALARM! This CO Alarm is designed to
detect carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is
NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.
This CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences.
This CO Alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas.
The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not
correct a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential
problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or
death.
This CO Alarm should receive continuous 120VAC, 60 Hz, pure
sine wave electrical power. Do not use in an extension cord or
outlet controlled by a dimmer or switch.
NEVER ignore your Carbon Monoxide Alarm if it alarms. Refer
to “If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for more information. Failure to
do so can result in injury or death.
Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to
test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is
not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

carbon monoxide may consider using warning devices which
provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide con-
centrations under 30 pm. For ad iti nal informat carbo p d o ion on n
monoxide and your medical condition contact your physician .
HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Leave your CO Alarm plugged in year-round. CO problems can
occur any time during the year, and this Alarm can only alert you if
it is plugged in and receiving power.
When fully powered, the unit samples the air and takes a new reading
about every second. A microchip inside the unit stores each reading,
and remembers the levels of CO it has been exposed to over time.
The Alarm sounds when it has been exposed to a “critical” level of CO
(measured in parts per million or “ppm”) within a specified time (meas-
ured in minutes). This CO Alarm features a permanently installed sensor,
an indicator light, and an 85 dB alarm horn. It also has a Silence
Feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.
MALFUNCTION WARNING
This unit performs daily self-diagnostic tests. If the Alarm malfunctions,
it should be replaced immediately.

INSTALLATION
WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO
Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection,
install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every
level of your home.
If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO
Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
In a Single-level Home:
Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping
area.
For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet
(6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.
In a Multi-level Home:
Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping
area.
For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of
the home.
For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet
(6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.
This unit should receive continuous electrical power. Choose an
outlet where it cannot be accidentally unplugged or switched off by
children. Keep small children away from the unit. Teach them not to
play with it or unplug it. Explain what the alarms mean.
WHERE CO ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE
INSTALLED
DO NOT LOCATE THIS CO ALARM:
In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty,
dirty or greasy areas.
Closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel
burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater.
Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3
meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dish-
washer, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.
In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4˚ C) or hotter
than 100˚ F (38˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl
spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings,
porches, and garages.
In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners,
fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO
from reaching the sensors.
In direct sunlight.
In outlets covered by curtains or other obstruction.
This CO Alarm is designed for use inside a single-family home
or apartment. It is not meant to be used in common lobbies,
hallways, or basements of multi-family buildings unless work-
ing CO Alarms are also installed in each family living unit.
CO Alarms in common areas may not be heard from inside
individual family living units.
This CO Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete
detection systems in places which house many people, like
hotels or dormitories, unless a CO Alarm is also placed in each
unit.
DO NOT use this CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or com-
mercial buildings, special-purpose non-residential buildings, or
airplanes. This CO Alarm is specifically designed for residential
use and ma de ade uate tect on, y not provi q pro i in non-res entid ial
applications.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM
Read “Where To Install Your CO Alarm” before starting.
Before you start installation, find the pair of self-adhesive labels
included with this CO Alarm. On each label write in the phone number
of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance tech-
nician. Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the
“fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.
1. Plug the unit into a standard
UNSWITCHED 120V AC outlet.
The unit should be located
where it can wake you if it
alarms at night.
2. Make sure the POWER/ALARM light
shines continuously when you plug it.
3. Test by pressing the Test/Silence button firmly until the unit sounds:
four loud beeps, pause, 4 beeps. During testing, the POWER/
ALARM light will flash rapidly. This is normal.
IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO
Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!
IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:
1. Operate the Test/Silence button.
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down
the number of your local emergency service here:
_____________________________________________________________
3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or
window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted
for. Do r n r the premises, or ve away from n ornot e-e te mo the ope do
or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the
premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its
normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a
24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance
technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning
equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this
eq ip t. If oblems ide tified ing is pectiou men pr are n dur th ins n have the
eq ip er iced ediatelu ment s v imm y. a m s p ntNote ny co bu tion equi me

garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a
qualified appliance technician here:
_____________________________________________________________
Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of CO
Alarms" for details.
USING THE SILENCE FEATURE
The Silence Featu re rris for your convenience only and will not co ect
a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem
after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
NEVER unplug your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use the silence
feature. Unplugging the CO Alarm removes your protection! See “If
Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details on responding to an alarm.
When CO reaches alarm levels the alarm will sound— repeating horn
patte n: beeps, pause, beeps, etc. ess and hold ther 4 a 4 Pr Test/Silence
button until the horn is silent. The initial Silence cycle will last approxi-
mately 4 minutes.
NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates
present CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain poten-
tially dangerous—or start rising higher—the horn will start sounding
again.
While the detector is silenced:
“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”
If you hear the alarm horn and the red light is flashing,
move everyone to a source of fresh air.
DO NOT unplug the CO Alarm!
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY TESTING
Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover until alarm sounds.
During testing, you will hear a loud alarm sequence – 4 beeps, pause,
4 beeps, pause.
The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make
sure the unit is fully plugged into an unswitched outlet. If the unit still
does not alarm, replace it immediately.
If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.
Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer
for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” at the end of this
manual.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding.
Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When
testing, step away when horn starts sounding.
NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent
damage and voids your warranty.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To keep the CO Alarm working properly:
Test it every week as described in “Weekly Testing.”
Vacuum the CO Alarm cover at least once a month, using the soft
brush attachment. Never use water, cleaners, or solvents, since
they may damage the unit. Test the Alarm again after vacuuming.
DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or
near the CO Alarm. DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so
may cause permanent damage.
Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals and other contaminants
can affect the sensor. When using any of these materials near the
CO Alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated.
If your home is being fumigated, unplug the unit temporarily and
put it where it will not be exposed to chemicals or fumes. When
fumigation is complete and all traces of fumes clear, plug the unit
back in and retest it.
If the CO Alarm...
Is silent for only 4 minutes,
then starts sounding loudly—
4 beeps, pause,
4 beeps, pause
This means...
CO levels are still potentially
dangerous.
If the CO Alarm...
Remains silent after you
pressed the Test/Silence
button
This means...
CO levels are dropping.
