Battery Installation and Replacement

To install or replace the batteries in this Kidde CO alarm, please perform
the following steps.

1. Slide open the bottom cover to expose the battery compartment.

2. If replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and properly dispose of

them as recommended by the battery manufacturer.

3. Install the new batteries. Note the

polarity illustration in the battery
compartment.

4. Close the bottom cover. Note: The

bottom cover will not close if all three
AA batteries are not installed.

When replacing the batteries, use one of
the following approved brands:

• Duracell

MN1500 or MX1500

• Energizer E91

These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a
local hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental
effect on the alarm operation.

IMPORTANT: Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce
battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once
a year, or at the same time as you change your clocks for daylight saving
time.

After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your alarm. Test your
alarm by using the Test/Reset button and check that the green “Power”
LED is on.

Mounting

This CO alarm can be either wall mounted or
placed on a tabletop.

For wall mounting, follow these steps:

1. Mark the location of the two holes

needed on the wall spaced
2-1/2” apart.

2. Insert the two screws provided until the

screw heads are protruding approximately
1/8” from the wall. (If mounting in a
plasterboard or drywall, drill a
3/16” hole in the wall and use
the plastic anchors provided.)

3. Hook the CO alarm over the

screws and onto the keyholes in
the back of the alarm.

Your CO alarm may also be placed
on a tabletop. Simply place in a
location that is easily visible. Be sure
the alarm is no more than three feet
from the floor.

to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency
