Add the telephone numbers of the local emergency service provider and a qualified technician to the self-adhesive labels provided. Place one label next to the monitor, and the other label near a source of fresh air where you plan to gather when the carbon monoxide monitor signals are activated. After installation is completed, TEST the monitor by pressing the TEST/RESET/MUTE button for at least 2 seconds. Detailed testing instructions are outlined in Section 9.

SPECIFICATIONS Visual CO Alert Signals 5 - 9 PPM ≤ 1 minute: Continuously displays current CO level detected of 5 PPM or more. 10 - 14 PPM ≤ 10 minutes: Displays CO level, and ALARM red LED flashes 4 times every minute. Reset button suspends flashing ALARM red LED for 24 hours. Suspension is overridden and audible and visual alarm signals are immediately activated if CO level rises above 14 PPM.
Sensor Type: Electrochemical Operating Temperature and Humidity: 40oF to 100oF @ 10% to 95% RH Audible Signal: Buzzer Horn Sounds 85 dB at 10 feet Visual Signals: • POWER green LED Indicates Power On • ALARM red LED Indicates CO Alert or Alarm • SERVICE red LED Indicates Service Required Detection Frequency: Samples for CO every 5 seconds LCD Digital Display: • Automatically Displays Current CO Level Detected from 5 to 500 PPM • Manually Displays Highest CO Level Detected from 5 to 500 PPM • Manually Displa
4. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and space heaters are the major cause of high CO levels in a building. Automobile and small engine exhaust are another source of CO.
5. RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF MONITORS The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of "at least one CO alarm per household located outside each sleeping area." (See diagrams "A" and “B”). CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the building, but because most CO poisoning cases occur while people are sleeping, the best location for a CO alarm and CO monitor is near or within the sleeping area in the residence or facility.
6. LOCATIONS TO AVOID NEAR THE COOKING AREA: Do not install the monitor within five feet of cooking appliances. CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause nuisance alarms. Also, cooking grease can build up on the monitor and cause monitor failure. WITHIN FIVE FEET OF A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, OR SPACE HEATER: These devices often spill out small amounts of CO when they first turn on. IN GARAGES: Automobile exhaust contains CO and will activate alarm.

8. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION OPERATION: The CO monitor is operational once the activation switch is slid to ON position. If the monitor’s power is active, the POWER green LED will flash once every 60 seconds. The LCD readout will continuously display 0 PPM, or the current CO level if 5 PPM or more is detected. LOW BATTERY CONDITION: When battery voltage drops below an acceptable level, the monitor will chirp once per minute and POWER green LED will blink 5 seconds every minute.
DISPLAY MEMORY BUTTON: To manually display the highest CO level detected, press the DISPLAY MEMORY button once. The LCD will display the recorded data in the following order: 1. The highest CO level detected from 5 to 500 PPM. 2. The total length of time the monitor has detected the highest CO level, within 10% of the peak, from 0 to 999 minutes. Each reading will appear for five seconds. To erase the record in memory, press the TEST/RESET/MUTE button when the readings are displayed.
To test the monitor during an “End-of-Life” condition, press and hold TEST/RESET/MUTE button for minimum 2 seconds when audible signal is not sounding. The audible signal cannot be muted when monitor is in SERVICE condition; monitor chirps twice (BEEP - BEEP) per minute, SERVICE red LED blinks for 5 seconds, and continuously displays . See Section 13 for information regarding service. 10.
If the residence or facility has been temporarily vacant and you return to find the monitor(s) sounding, do not enter the building. Call the Fire Department from another location. Do not re-enter the building for any reason until you have been assured that it is safe to do so.
12. GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE: Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room. Have a meeting with everyone to discuss your escape plan, and show what to do in case an alarm sounds. Determine a place outside your residence or facility where you can all meet if an alarm sounds. Familiarize everyone with the sound of the alarm and train them to leave the building when they hear it.
To remove the monitor for service or disposal, unscrew the mounting screw from the top center of the monitor, and slide the monitor up and off mounting plate. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot, lift up the deactivation Stop, and slide the switch to farthest left end to deactivate the monitor. The switch moves in one direction only, and cannot be moved back. Once monitor is deactivated, the sealed lithium batteries will be fully discharged and the monitor will no longer work.
