Quick Set Up Guide
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually this is in or near
bedrooms. Refer to page 10 for complete information.
Step 2
Your CO alarm is equipped to be mounted as a corded unit, a direct plug unit
or a table top unit. In the “as shipped” configuration, the unit can be plugged
directly into a wall socket. (If your outlets are mounted horizontally, please
refer to page 13, “to rotate adapter”). If the transformer/adapter is taken out
of the unit, the alarm can be mounted on the wall at eye level, while the trans-
former is plugged into a wall socket. The unit can also be set on a table if the
support at the bottom of the unit is pulled out (see “rear view” illustration on
page 6). Refer to page 10 for information on installing your alarm.
Step 3
A 9V battery is needed for backup in the event of a power outage. When
installing the battery, use an Energizer 522, Duracell MN 1604 or, for extended
life, use an Ultralife lithium power cell model U9VL. Any of these batteries can
be purchased where you bought the alarm or at your local hardware store. To
install the battery, open the back door and snap battery connector onto battery.
You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power.
Place battery into battery compartment and replace back door. Refer to page
13 for information to remove the back door.
Step 4
Plug the alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet in one
of the configurations listed in step 2. Refer to page 6 for more details.
