Page 5: Information About Carbon Monoxide
1. Information About Carbon Monoxide General Carbon Monoxide Information Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Periodically review this user guide and discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure with all the members of your family. -
Page 6: Conditions That Can Produce Carbon Monoxide
1. Information About Carbon Monoxide • Automobiles, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters and generators, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters. • Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure, cor- roded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or cracked furnace exchangers. - Page 7 Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm – the higher the level of CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.

Changed batteries twice. Still chirps
The Kidde KN-COB-LP2 may continue to chirp after changing the batteries twice due to the End of Life notification. After ten years from initial power-up, the alarm will beep twice every 30 seconds, indicating it needs to be replaced. The End of Life Hush feature allows silencing the chirps for 3 days, up to a total of 30 days, but after that, the alarm must be replaced. If the chirping persists despite new batteries, it likely means the unit has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced.
