4. Installation Instructions
Wall Mounted Alarm
Installation tips for power cord models:
The power cord option provides more flexibility in mounting locations and
allows the alarm to be easily installed at eye level.
For a wall-mounted unit, you will need to pull out the removable adapter and
power cord.
To install:
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 in the previous sec-
tion under "To Rotate the Adapter."
2. With the adapter removed, pull the power cord
out of the cord storage, remove the twist tie,
and extend the power cord.
3. With the power cord extended, press the last
few inches of the power cord into the cord
recess. Gently pull the cord at the bottom of the
cord recess until the cord becomes taught and
lays flat in cord recess.
4. Carefully replace the back door. Insure the
"latches" on all four corners of the door are
lined up, then press the door securely into place.
5. Mark the location for the two mounting holes on the wall spaced vertically
2 5/8" apart.
6. If you are mounting the alarm in plaster board or drywall, drill a 3/16" hole
into the wall and insert the plastic anchors provided.
Install the two screws provided into the wall or wall
anchors until the screw head is approximately 1/8"
from the wall.
7. Hook the unit over the screw head and into the key-
hole in back of the unit.
8. Plug the adapter into an unswitched wall socket.
Table Top Alarm
You can use your Kidde CO alarm as a table top unit. Follow steps 1 thru 3
above. Instead of mounting the unit to a wall, pull out the slide support and
place in a location that is easily visible. Be sure the alarm is no more than
three feet from the floor.The alarm does not have to be within three feet from
the floor to detect CO, but at this height it is less likely to sustain damage
from a fall.
