Operating Instructions

5. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate
the alarm in the direction of the "ON" arrow on the
cover until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratchet-
ing function allows for aesthetic alignment). Note:
The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions
(every 90 degrees).
6. Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On
Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating
from AC power.
7. Two labels are included with your alarm. They have
important information on what to do in case of an
alarm. Add the phone number of your emergancy
service provider (fire department or 911) in the
space provided. Place one label next to the alarm
after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air
source such as a door or window."
8. For model KN-COSM-IB only: Pull the Battery Pull Tab
(yellow tab protruding from unit) completely out of
unit. This will automatically connect the battery.
