How to Install Your CO Alarm
Once you have decided the best place to install the CO alarm(s), follow
these steps:
1. Locate a standard household electrical outlet that is not blocked by drapes,
furniture, or other items. Be sure the outlet is not near air exchange vents.
This CO alarm is designed to plug directly into a standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz
household outlet, which can supply at least 0.05 Amp of current.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A WALL SWITCH-CONTROLLED OUTLET.
2. IMPORTANT: Your CO alarm will mount to a horizontally or vertically oriented
outlet (see figure 4). Rotate the 90° rotating plug for the correct outlet
orientation before plugging into outlet (see figure 5). CO alarm must be installed
and used so that it hangs vertically once in outlet.
3. Plug the CO alarm directly into the chosen electrical outlet. The “ON” light will remain lit
indicating the CO alarm is receiving power and operating normally.
4. Press the test/reset button, (see figure 6). The alarm should sound a short tone. (Once
the button is released, the CO alarm will go through its test cycle turning on the amber
Service light and flashing the “Alarm” light. The alarm will beep four times followed by 5
seconds of silence and then repeat the cycle.
5. Your CO alarm has an Alarm Action Guide in English installed on the back of the
alarm. If you prefer, the enclosed Spanish version can be installed by removing the
English version and inserting the Spanish version in the slide-out panel. If your unit
has Spanish labels included, simply place the labels over the English version.
6. Two self-adhesive labels have been provided with instructions indicating what to do if
the alarm sounds. Add the phone numbers of your emergency services provider and
a qualified technician to each label. Place one of the labels in a visible area next to the
alarm, and place the other label near a source of fresh air which will be used as a
gathering place if the alarm sounds.
UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE DURING POWER FAILURE.
DO NOT use with extension cords, or attempt to “hardwire” this unit directly to
the household electrical current. The CO alarm WILL NOT work properly and this
will void your warranty.
