NOTE: The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet
(3 meters).
WEEKLY TESTING: This alarm is designed to act as a monitor, not for use as a short-term
testing device, or to perform a quick check for the presence of CO or smoke. The built-in test
switch accurately tests the alarm operation as required by ANSI/UL 2034/UL 217 Standards
for Safety. If at any time the alarm does not perform as described when tested, replace it
immediately. Weekly testing is required to ensure proper operation. Irregular or low volume
sound may indicate a defective alarm and it should be returned for service. Follow deactiva-
tion instructions to prepare alarm for shipment or disposal.
USING THE TEST FEATURE:Press and release the Test button on the alarm cover. During
testing, the alarm will sound a loud horn pattern consisting of 3 beeps, followed by a 6 second
pause, then 4 beeps. The red smoke LED will blink in sync with the 3 beeps and the red CO
LED will blink in sync with the 4 beeps. The alarm will sound if all the electronic circuitry, horn
and battery are working properly.
If the alarm does not sound properly:
1. Hold the test button down longer. Try holding the test button down for up to 10 seconds.
2. Make sure the battery activation pull tab has been completely removed.
3. If there is still a problem, call customer service. Do not attempt to fix the alarm.
The battery should last for approximately 10 years under normal operating conditions.

minute. The alarm is now ready for disposal.
