Low Battery Warning

If the battery is missing or battery power is low, the unit will chirp every
60 seconds to indicate the batteries must be replaced.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!
Low Battery Hush CONTROL
®
When the batteries need to be replaced, the unit will produce a low
battery warning. The Low Battery Hush feature allows you to press the
®
button on the alarm and disable the "chirp" for a random period of up
to 12 hours. This gives you a chance to replace the battery at a more
convenient time by disconnecting the alarm from power. During this
Low Battery Hush period, your alarm is monitoring for CO.
®
Tamper Resist Feature
The Tamper Resist feature is optional and DOES NOT need to be
activated for the CO alarm to function properly. The Tamper Resist
feature is a constant 85 dB alert to indicate the unit has been
unplugged or has come loose from the outlet. THIS FEATURE IS
INITIALLY DISABLED FROM THE FACTORY AND MUST BE ACTIVATED
IF FEATURE IS DESIRED. To activate the Tamper Resist feature: Move
the Tamper Resist Activation Slide to the "ON" position. Once
enabled, there is a two minute delay when power is supplied to
give you time to plug in the unit after activating the batteries. This
feature is automatically disabled once the battery voltage has reached
a level to cause a low battery warning chirp. Pressing the Test/Reset
button will defeat the 85 dB tamper alarm for two minutes to allow
time for the batteries to be changed without the alarm sounding.
To deactivate the Tamper Resist feature, press in the Tamper Resist
Activation Switch and move the Activation Slide to the "OFF"
position.
