USING THE SILENCE FEATURE
N
EVER disconnect the power to your Alar

is silent.
• If the Test/Silence button is pressed while the Alarm is in the silence
mode, the alarm will start sounding again.
WHEN THE CO ALARM IS SILENCED...

emain silent for up to 4 minutes. While the Alarm is
silenced, it will continue to monitor the air for CO. After 4 minutes, if CO levels

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window.
Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-
enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the
emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to
investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances,
and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identi-
fied during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note
any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult
the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for
more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that
motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached
garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified
appliance technician here:

WHAT TO DO IF CARBON MONOXIDE IS DETECTED
Actuation of your CO Alar
m indicates the presence of carbon monoxide
(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you
must not ignore it!
USING THE PEAK CO MEMORY
The CO Memory Feature lets you check the highest level of CO recorded.
To check CO Memory:
1.
Pr
ess the Display button until the peak CO level is displayed.
T
o clear CO Memory:
1. While checking CO memory, press or hold the Display
button until “CLEAR” is displayed.
2. Press or hold the Display button until the CO Memory is
cleared.
NOTE: The highest CO level will be saved, even after an AC power interruption,
until you clear it. DO NOT clear the CO Memory r
eading if you plan to call
someone to investigate a CO problem! Clear the CO Memory reading only
after the investigator has checked your home.

Using the VOLUME or CHANNEL buttons on most r
emote controls, you can
test or silence this CO Alarm from up to 12 feet (3.6 meters) away.

“chirp” silence feature is activated. After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will
resume. The Alarm will continue to operate as long as AC power is supplied.
However, replace the battery as soon as possible, to maintain protection in
event of a power outage.
