conditions. The alarm has a low battery indicator, an audible beep or chirp. It will operate at approx.
40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When this indication occurs, replace the battery with
an Alkaline type (Energizer #522, Duracell #MN1604, Zeus 9V), or Lithium type (Energizer LA522,
Ultralife U9VL-J, U9VL-J-P) from your local retailer.

WEEKLY TESTING
This alarm is designed to act as a monitor, not for use as a short-term testing device, to
perform a quick check for the presence of CO or gas. WARNING: Natural gas (methane)
is highly explosive. An attempt to test the unit by exposing it to natural gas outside of a
controlled labatory environment can produce an explosion and death. NEVER use a gas
range or an open ame of any kind to test this alarm. You might accidentally damage or set
re to the alarm or to your home. NEVER use vehicle exhaust to test the alarm! Exhaust may cause
permanent damage and voids your warranty. The built-in test switch accurately tests the alarm
operation as required by ANSI/UL2034 Standard for Safety. If, at any time, you test the alarm and
it does not perform as described, replace it immediately.
It is important to test this alarm every week to make sure it is working properly.
