manual abstract
The unit will not detect CO in this condition. Please replace immediately. Note: Your Kidde CO Alarm will NOT monitor CO levels while an error warning is being displayed. Low Battery If the batteries become “low”, the alarm will alert you with a short “chirp” and the red LED Figure 7 will flash once every 30 seconds for up to 7 days. The digital models will display “Lb” as shown in Fig. 7. Features and Operation of Digital Display and Non-digital Display Models (cont.) Test/Reset Button The test/reset button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to reset the unit during alarm. Test the unit: To test, press the test/reset button. Test the unit weekly! The unit will perform a self diagnostic test by cycling through the alarm pattern. Familiarize yourself and family members with the alarm pattern. A CO alarm is 4 short beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 short beeps. This cycle will repeat in the event of a CO alarm. This cycle will continue for the first 4 minutes of a CO alarm and then change to one cycle every one minute until the device is reset or the CO is eliminated. Note: For Digital Display Models After the test/reset button is pressed, numbers appear on the display. These are not CO readings and are part of the internal testing process. Ignore these numbers ! Due to the loudness of the alarm we suggest you place your fingers over the sounder opening when testing your Kidde CO Alarm. Reset If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the CO alarm sounds again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation. If this happens follow What To Do If The Alarm Soundson pages 18-20. Reactivation times depend on the amount of CO that caused the CO alarm to initially alarm and the amount of CO present after resetting the alarm.
