This is normal. PREPARE YOUR ALARM LABELS Find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this CO Alarm. • On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. • Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds. NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.” 2 IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS _____________________________________________________________ — ’ _____________________________________________________________ Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of CO Alarms" for details. USING THE SILENCE FEATURES The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While the Alarm is silenced, it will continue to monitor the air for CO. When CO reaches alarm levels, the Alarm will sound— repeating horn pattern: 4 beeps, a pause, 4 beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the horn is silent. The Silence cycle will last approximately 4 minutes. NOTE: After 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous—or start rising higher—the horn will start sounding again. • The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death. • NEVER disconnect your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use the Silence Feature. Unplugging the CO Alarm and removing the batteries removes your protection! SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING Pressing the silence button can stop the low battery “chirp” for up to 8 hours; do not remove the battery or unplug the Alarm, unless changing the battery. Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the unit continues to flash the red light once a minute for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the battery as soon as possible. To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute.) If you cannot silence the low battery warning, replace your battery immediately. “ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR” If you hear the alarm horn and the red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT unplug the CO Alarm! REGULAR MAINTENANCE To keep the CO Alarm working properly: • Test it every week as described in “Weekly Testing.” • Vacuum the CO Alarm cover at least once a month, using the soft brush attachment. Never use water, cleaners, or solvents, since they may damage the unit. Test the Alarm again after vacuuming. • Replace the battery immediately when you hear the “Low Battery Warning”. The Low (or Missing) Battery Warning: The horn will “chirp” once a minute. REPLACING THE BATTERY Choosing a Replacement Battery: This unit requires one standard 9V alkaline battery. The following alkaline batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604 or MX1604; Eveready “Energizer” 522. You can also use an Ultralife 9 volt lithium battery #U9VL for longer service life between battery changes. These replacement batteries are commonly available at local retail stores. Use only the alkaline or lithium replacement batteries listed. The unit may not operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries since they may not provide a constant charge. To Replace The Battery: 1. Open the battery compartment. 2. Use the thumb guide to remove the old battery. 3. Insert the new battery, making sure it snaps completely into the battery terminals and cannot be shaken loose. 4. Close the battery compartment, then test the battery back-up by pressing the Test/Silence button. 5. Plug the CO Alarm back into the outlet. DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the CO Alarm. DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so may cause permanent damage. • Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals and other contaminants can affect the sensor. When using any of these materials near the CO Alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated. • If your home is being fumigated, unplug the unit temporarily and put it where it will not be exposed to chemicals or fumes. When fumigation is complete and all traces of fumes clear, plug the unit back in and retest it.
