Weekly Testing of Your CO Alarm
It is important to test your CO Alarm weekly and after
you replace the SensorPack
®
Module. Push the
Test/Silence (Test/Reset) button on the cover until a
continuous alarm sounds. It should last for 5-20
seconds. If the unit ever fails to test properly, replace it
immediately.
DO NOT stand close to the unit when the unit is
sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful
to your hearing. When testing, step away when the
unit starts sounding.
The Test/Silence (Test/Reset) button is the only
proper way to test the unit. NEVER use vehicle
exhaust! Exhaust causes permanent damage and
voids your warranty.
If the unit does not test properly:
1. Make sure the SensorPack
®
Module is inserted
correctly.
2. Be sure the unit is clean and dust-free.
3. Replace the SensorPack
®
Module and test the unit
again.
If there is still a problem, do not try to fix the CO Alarm
yourself. This voids your warranty. If the unit is not
working properly, refer to the “Limited Warranty” at the
end of this manual, or call our Consumer Affairs
Department at 1-800-323-9005.
