Step C: Battery Installation
Step D: Installation / Removal
Figure 2: Installation Instructions
6.4 As described in Figures 1-2, attach the mounting plate on the wall. Be sure the "UP FOR WALL
MOUNTING" text and arrow are facing up. Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate.
6.5 The battery is INSTALLED REVERSED FOR SHIPPING. Remove and reinstall the battery in the correct
orientation as noted on the inside of the battery door. When installing the battery, align the “+” and “-” battery
terminals on the correct contacts. The alarm will beep once indicating proper battery installation.
CAUTION! IF NO BATTERY IS INSTALLED, THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND THE UNIT
WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
6.6 Align marks on the edge of the trim plate with those on the alarm. Twist the alarm in the direction
indicated by the "ON" arrow on the alarm cover (see step D) until it locks in place.
6.7 To make your carbon monoxide alarm tamper resistant, a locking pin has been
provided in the bag with the screws and anchors. Using this pin will deter children and
others from removing the alarm from the mounting plate. To use the pin, insert it into
the hole in the side of the alarm after the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate
(see fig. 3). Note the tamper resist pin will have to be removed in order to change the
battery. Using long nose pliers pull the pin out of the hole, it is now possible to remove
the alarm from the mounting plate. Test alarm immediately following installation and
weekly thereafter for proper operation by pushing the test button until a short beep is
heard (approximately three seconds). Release the button. The alarm will then test itself
for proper operation and the RED L.E.D. will flash 5 times. At completion of the self-
test, the alarm will sound 2 patterns. The alarm then resumes normal operation.
6.8 This box contains two self-adhesive labels. You should write the telephone numbers of the emergency
service provider and a qualified technician in the space provided in the labels. Place one label next to the alarm, and
the other label near a source of fresh air where you plan to gather after the alarm indicates the presence of carbon
monoxide.
7.0 ALARM SIGNALS
7.1 NORMAL OPERATION
RED L.E.D. flashes once every 30 seconds, indicating that the alarm is powered and active.
7.2 ALARM CONDITION
RED LED turns "on" for 2 seconds and "off" for 4 seconds with 4 short beeps for 1 second and 5 seconds
of silence. Pushing and holding the test/reset button for 3 seconds will silence the alarm for about 4 minutes. After
4 minutes, the alarm will once again sound until the unsafe CO concentration is reduced.
7.3
TROUBLE/SERVICE CONDITION
The detector self-tests every 10 minutes. The detector will beep and the Indicator/Test button will flash
once every 30 seconds if a fault is detected. This is an indication of a malfunction and that the detector requires
immediate servicing.
