until the smoke is eliminated. The red LED light
will flash while in alarm/voice mode.
CARBON MONOXIDE: The alarm/voice

MONOXIDE!". This continues until the unit is reset
or the CO eliminated. While powered by battery

will sound once every minute. The red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) light will flash while in
alarm/voice mode.
LOW BATTERY(model KN-COSM-IB only):
When the batteries are low and need replacing the
red LED light will flash and the unit will "chirp"
