Test/Reset Button - Kidde 9CO5 Owner's Manual

Features and Operation (cont.)

Test/Reset Button

The test/reset button is used to
test the unit's electronics and to
reset the unit during alarm
(see figure 3).
• Test the unit - To test, press and release the test/reset
button, you should hear one short beep - followed by
5 seconds of silence – followed by a continuous alarm
with a corresponding red LED flash. Familiarise yourself
and family members with the alarm pattern.
Test the unit weekly! If at any time your unit does
not perform as described replace it immediately.
Note: After the test/reset button is pressed, the alarm
sounds and the red alarm light flashes. This does not
indicate that carbon monoxide is present.
Due to the loudness of the alarm we suggest you place your
fingers over the sounder opening when testing your Kidde
CO Alarm.
• Reset the unit - If the alarm is sounding, pressing
the test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If
the CO condition that caused the alert in the first
place continues, the alarm will reactivate.
Reactivation times depend on the amount of CO
that caused the CO alarm to initially alarm and the
amount of CO present after resetting the alarm
(see page 11, Alarm Instructions/Emergency
Response).
WARNING: Tampering with your 9CO5 CO alarm,
may cause malfunction. Please follow manufacturers
instructions at all times.
