Plug The Alarm Into an Outlet
WARNING!
This CO Alarm should receive continuous
electrical power. The battery is meant for
emergency back-up only. Do not plug this
alarm into an outlet controlled by a dimmer
or switch.
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 in. The horn
will "chirp" during power up, or when power
is restored after an outage.
3. Test by pressing the Test/Silence/Scroll
button firmly until the unit sounds: 4 beeps,
pause, 4 beeps. During testing, the POWER/
ALARM light will flash and "888" will appear
briefly on the Display. This is normal.

Prepare Your Alarm Labels
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 technician.
• Place one label near the CO Alarm, and
the other label in the "fresh air" location
you plan to go if the alarm sounds.
NOTE:
A qualified appliance technician is defined as
"a person, firm, corporation, or company that
either in person or through a representative, is
engaged in and responsible for the installation,
testing, servicing, or replacement of heating,
ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment,
combustion appliances and equipment, and/or
gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion
equipment."
