Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here: “ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR” If you hear the alarm horn and the red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT move the CO Alarm! Finding the Source of CO After an Alarm Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. See Chapter 5 “What You Must Know About CO.” BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call. Using the Silence Feature WARNING! NEVER remove the batteries from your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use the silence feature. Removing the batteries removes your protection! See previous page for details on responding to an alarm. The silence feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While the alarm is silenced, it will continue to monitor the air for CO. When CO reaches the alarm level, the Alarm will sound— repeating horn pattern: 4 beeps, a pause, 4 beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the horn is silent. The initial Silence cycle will last approximately 4 minutes. NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous—or start rising higher— the horn will start sounding again. While the alarm is silenced: If the CO Alarm... remains silent after you pressed the Test/ Silence button... This means... CO levels are dropping. If the CO Alarm... goes back into alarm 4 minutes after you pressed the Test/Silence button... This means... CO levels present indicate a potentially dangerous situation. CHAPTER 4: Testing and Maintenance WEEKLY TESTING WARNING! DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding. Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until you hear a “chirp.” The “chirp” marks the start of the self-test sequence. • First, the BATTERY (green) and SERVICE (yellow) lights will flash briefly— this is normal. • Next, the alarm horn will sound: 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The ALARM (red) light will flash quickly. The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make sure the battery is correctly installed, and test it again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately. NOTE: When you press and hold the Test/Silence button, if the battery is low or weak, the BATTERY light will flash YELLOW. Even if the horn sounds, you should replace a low or weak battery immediately for optimum performance. If the alarm does not test properly: 1. Make sure the battery is installed correctly. 2. Be sure the alarm is clean and dust-free. 3. Install a fresh 9V alkaline or lithium battery* and test the alarm again. If the CO Alarm is not working properly, refer to the “Limited Warranty” at the end of this manual. CAUTION! If there is still a problem, do not try to fix the alarm yourself—this will void your warranty! Install a new CO Alarm immediately. CO Alarms under warranty can be returned to BRK Brands, Inc. for replacement (see Limited Warranty for details). WARNING! The Test/Silence button is the only proper way to test the CO Alarm. NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty. *For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “Regular Maintenance.” REGULAR MAINTENANCE To keep the CO Alarm in good working order: • Test it every week using the Test/Silence button. • Vacuum the CO Alarm cover at least twice a year, using the soft brush attachment. Test the Alarm again after vacuuming. • Replace the battery when the CO Alarm “chirps” and the yellow light blinks twice a minute (the low battery warning). NOTE: The low battery warning should last for 30 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection. Choosing a replacement battery: This unit requires one standard 9V alkaline battery. The following alkaline batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604. You can also use an Ultralife 9 volt lithium battery #U9VL for longer service life between battery changes. These replacement batteries are commonly available at local retail stores. IMPORTANT! Use only the alkaline or lithium replacement batteries listed. The unit may not operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries since they may not provide a constant charge. CAUTION! DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the CO Alarm. DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so may permanently damage the CO Alarm. IMPORTANT! Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect the sensor. When using any of these materials near the alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated.
