Quick Set Up Guide
Step 1
Determine the best location for your CO alarm(s). Usually
this is in or near bedrooms.
The alarm should be located where it can
wake you if it alarms at night.
Refer to page 8 for installation location
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 mount-
ed horizontally, please refer to page 11, “to rotate adapter”). If the
transformer/adapter is taken out of the unit, the alarm can be mount-
ed on the wall at eye level, while the transformer 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
10). Refer to pages 10-12 for further information on installing your
alarm.
Step 3
A Carrier rechargeable battery pack is provided for backup in the
event of a power outage. To install the battery pack, open the back
door and align the connector with the slot in the battery. Insure the
orientation of the two alignment ribs align with the slots in the battery
case.
Press the connector in until it is fully seated. Depending on the
charge state of the battery pack (the battery packs can have different
amounts of energy stored in them due to storage time), you may hear
the alarm sound briefly to indicate the alarm is receiving power.
Place battery pack into battery compartment and replace back door
(refer to page 13).
Note:
Battery backup will be limited until the battery has fully
charged. It may take up to 24 hours for the battery back up to fully
charge.
Step 4
Plug the alarm into a standard, unswitched 120 volt AC electric outlet
in one of the configurations listed in step 2.
