How to Install Your Alarm
Your Kidde CO alarm with its removable adapter allows you to install the
alarm as a wall mounted unit, a direct plug unit, or as a table top unit.
Direct Plug Alarm
In its “as shipped” configuration, all you need
to do is install the 9V backup battery and your
Kidde CO alarm is ready to be plugged directly
into a wall socket.
To install:
1. Choose a standard 120V unswitched outlet
to plug the alarm into.
2. Pull the slide support out approximately 1/4”
until the slide snaps into place. This will
help support unit in the wall outlet.
3. Plug the alarm into the outlet.
If the outlet is mounted horizontally (sideways):
If you are going to use your alarm as a direct
plug and you are going to plug in to an outlet
that is mounted horizontally (sideways), you will
need to rotate the adapter 90˚.
To rotate the adapter:
1. Remove back door by sliding it down and
out.
2. Spread adapter thumb releases out and care-
fully turn alarm over. This will allow adapter
to slide out.
3. Lift the adapter completely out of the alarm
and rotate the adapter 90˚ to the right
(clockwise). Snap it firmly back into place.
4. Carefully replace the back door. Insure the “latches” on all four cor-
ners of the door are lined up, then press the door securely into place.
5. Plug the alarm into an unswitched wall socket.
