Battery Installation and Replacement
To install or replace the batteries in this
Kidde CO alarm, please perform the
following steps.
1. Gently 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, being careful to
seat the red battery warning flags in the
recess of the battery compartment. Also,
note the polarity illustration in the
battery compartment.
4. Gently 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 MX1500
• Energizer E91
• Rayovac 815
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.
4. Installation Instructions
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
2-3/8” 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 fold out the stand located
on the back of the unit and place in a
location that is easily visible. Be sure the
alarm is no more than three feet from the
floor.
Important Labels Provided
Two labels have been provided that have
important information on what to do in case
of an alarm. Add the phone number of your
emergency service provider in the space pro-
vided. Place one label next to the alarm after
it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air
source such as a door or window.
