Since batteries are not installed in the unit at the factory, you will
need to install them.
T h r ee AA batteries have been included with your purchase. When
replacing the batteries, we recommend use of the following for a
minimum of one year normal operation:
•
Duracell MN1500
•
Rayovac 815
•
Energizer E91
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
Note: Constant exposure to high or low humidity may reduce
battery efficiency.
NOTE: Your Kidde CO alarm will NOT monitor CO levels during
the time that the "Low Battery" warning or error warning is
being displayed.
