Welcome
Note: Many times throughout this User’s Guide, we will refer to
Carbon Monoxide as “CO”.
This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is an important part of your
family’s home safety plan. This alarm has been designed and tested to
detect CO buildup in a residential environment. Your alarm is for use
specifically in the home. As an owner of a CO alarm, there are some
basic facts you should know about for your protection.
Many people think that CO alarms operate like smoke alarms. Like
smoke alarms, CO alarms monitor the air in your home and sound a
loud alarm to warn you of trouble. The way you respond to a CO alarm
is quite different than a smoke alarm. That’s because a house fire and a
CO problem are two distinctly different situations. If your smoke alarm
were to alarm, you would quickly be able to judge the level of danger
you were in with your senses. You can see and smell the smoke, feel the
heat, see, and possibly hear the fire burning. You can also readily see
if your smoke alarm is alarming in a non-emergency situation. Because
your sense of sight, smell, hearing and touch give you information, you
can almost instantly judge what action to take if you hear your smoke
alarm.
CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas – completely
undetectable to your senses. That’s why it is important to your safety
that you have a CO alarm.
Important Warning Statements
IMPORTANT: This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect
carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT
designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.
!
WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke alarms.
This carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and
maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your
home.
This carbon monoxide alarm will not sense smoke, fire, or any
poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though carbon
monoxide can be generated by fire. For this reason you must
install smoke alarms to provide early warning of fire and to pro-
tect you and your family from fire and its related hazards.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in
other areas.

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
General Carbon Monoxide Information
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that
can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry
oxygen.
Periodically review this alarm user’s guide and discuss your CO alarm
emergency procedure with all the members of your family. Never ignore
a CO alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous
levels of CO. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO
before an emergency – before most people would experience symptoms
of CO poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly.
Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO
poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they
are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling
for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first
affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons
from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at
levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and
should be discussed with ALL members of the household.
Mild Exposure:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like”
symptoms).
Medium Exposure:
Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure:
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your
doctor immediately!

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels
(model C3010-D with digital display only)
Model C3010-D is equipped with a digital display that shows levels of
CO (displayed in PPM – parts per million). Learn the difference between
dangerous, high, mid and low levels.
Dangerous Levels:
When someone is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning and CO read-
ings are generally above 100 PPM. Anytime someone is experiencing the
symptoms of CO poisoning this should be treated as an emergency. See
“What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
High Levels:
Generally above 100 PPM, with no one experiencing symptoms. This
should be treated as an urgent situation. See “What to do When the
Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
Mid Levels:
Generally between 50 PPM to 100 PPM. This should be cause for concern
and should not be ignored or dismissed. See “What to do When the
Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
Low Levels:
Generally below 50 PPM. Kidde recommends you take action to eliminate
the source of CO. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside
front cover).
IMPORTANT: Model C3010 does not have a digital display and
does not display carbon monoxide levels in PPM. If the alarm
sounds, it should be treated as a potentially serious condition. See
“What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the
most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also
produce dangerous levels of CO.
CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline, pro-
pane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-burning
appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not ventilated
correctly, such as:
• Cars, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water
heaters,portable fuel burning space heaters and generators, fire-
places, wood burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure, cor-
roded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or cracked furnace
exchangers.
• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an open or
closed garage, attached or near a home.
• Burning charcoal or fuel in grills and barbecues in an enclosed area.
Conditions That Can Produce Carbon Monoxide
The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:
• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused
by outdoor ambient conditions, such as, wind direction and/or veloc-
ity, including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/
humid air with extended periods between cycles).
• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing
for limited internal air.
• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or
water heaters.
• Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can
amplify the above situations.
• Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven,
fireplace, etc.).
• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the
ground.
• Vehicle idling in an open or closed garage, or near a home.
Information About Carbon Monoxide Alarms –
What They Can and Cannot Do:
CO alarms provide early warning of the presence of CO, usually before a
healthy adult would experience symptoms. This early warning is possible,
however, only if your CO alarm is located, installed and maintained as
described in this guide.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures to
low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high
levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm – the higher the level of
CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.

1. Information About Carbon Monoxide
This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not
prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem. If
your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventilation by leaving your
windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated by the
time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be temporar-
ily solved, it’s crucial that the source of the CO is determined and that
the appropriate repairs are made.
This CO alarm is designed to act as a monitor; it is not designed for use
as a short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the presence
of CO.
CO alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms
are not fool-proof. CO alarms have a limited operational life. You must
test your CO alarm weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time.
If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals
a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This alarm will not
monitor CO levels while in an error condition.
CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It’s possible
that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The
rate and ability that which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by:
• Doors or other obstructions.
• Fresh air from a vent, an open window or other source.
• CO being present on one level of the home and not reach a CO alarm
installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may
not reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms).
For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by
placing a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all
information in sections 3 and 4 on properly installing this CO alarm.
CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas
(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels.
Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise interfere with the
alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.

3. Installation Locations
Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-
ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose
the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 0°C or
hotter than 40°C such as crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages.
• Do not install within 1.5m. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde
recommends 3m. to prevent nuisance alarms).
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air
ventilation openings.
• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly
exposed to the weather.
• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide
early warning.
• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than
optimum performance.
• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the
alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air
to the vents.

4. Installation Instructions
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED (INCLUDING THE BATTERY).
THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
This alarm has lithium batteries permanently sealed inside the alarm, no
battery installation or maintenance is necessary.
The alarm is shipped turned off and is activated the first time the
mounting bracket is attached. To activate the alarm: for wall mounting,
install the mounting bracket using the instructions below and slide the
alarm until it snaps into place. Alternately for table top applications,
simply slide the bracket on to the unit until snaps in place.
Note: Numerous or prolonged period of alarming is not typical and will
consume the battery capacity, shortening the life of the product.
Extensive cycling between high and low temperatures will significantly
reduce battery life. Long term exposure to high temperatures will
degrade the battery over time. Kidde recommends locating this alarm in
a controlled temperature environment (68-86ºF) for optimum life.
After installing your alarm, test it by using the Test/Reset button and
check that the green “Power” LED blinks on.

6. Model C3010-D (with digital display)
Operating Characteristics
Peak Level Memory (model C3010-D only)
When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows
the highest CO reading taken by the CO alarm since
its last reset or power up. In this example 120 PPM
was the maximum amount of CO recorded since the
unit was last reset.
Sample Peak
Level Reading
The Peak Level display feature will display levels
between 11-999 PPM. Although the Peak Level
feature will display levels below 30 PPM, these levels
will not result in an alarm no matter how long the
device is exposed to these levels. The Peak Level feature is helpful in
identifying if you have had a CO reading since resetting the alarm.
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in
normal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may
be an indication of a transient condition that may appear today and
never reappear. Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks
but could develop into CO concentrations that may become harmful.
If this happens, the CO alarm will detect the dangerous level and
alarm, notifying you and others of the conditions. DO NOT ignore
high concentration readings above 30 PPM or a CO alarming
device that is in alarm.
Peak Level Memory Reset
Press the Peak Level button; with the button still pressed, press the Test/
Reset button for two seconds then release the Test followed by the Peak
Level buttons. The number on the display will turn to “0”, the memory
will be cleared and the alarm will begin monitoring for CO.

7. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a
loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps followed by 5
seconds of silence which repeats for the first 4 to 5 minutes, after which
it will produce a single 4 beep pattern once a minute for as long as
dangerous conditions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same
pattern and the digital display (where equipped) will indicate CO
concentrations in parts per million (PPM).
8. Maintenance
NOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your
fingers over the sounder opening while testing your alarm.
Caution: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this
alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
Testing
To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is operating
properly, you will hear 4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence
– followed by 4 quick beeps. (For model C3010-D with digital
display: The display will show three dash marks “- - -”and then
three “eights”.) The red LED will flash along with the beeps. Within
several seconds the unit will return to monitor for CO. Note: You do
not need to press the Test button to take a CO reading.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these steps:
• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.
• Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
• Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can
permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near
the alarm.
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with
proper sensor operation.

8. Maintenance
Move the CO Alarm to a remote location, to prevent possible damage or
contamination of the sensor, prior to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping floors or furniture, painting or wall-papering,
• Using aerosols or adhesives
!
WARNING: Reinstall the CO Alarm as soon as possible to
assure continuous protection.
The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the
sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings:
• Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl
acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
• Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paint, thinner,
solvent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust
(cold start) and some cleaning agents.
Placing unit into shut down mode at end of its useful life.
Once the unit has entered end of life or error mode it is necessary to
turn the unit off. This stops it from making a sound and also discharg-
es the remaining capacity of the battery to render it safe.
1. Remove the bracket/back cover from
the unit by sliding a screwdriverbe-
tween the unit and the cover at the
recess in the center of the unit. This
allows access to the back of the unit.
2. Once the back of the unit is visible,
locate the expanded slot on thelower
left hand side.
3.Using a flat blade screwdriver, put
it in the slot and slide it toward the top. You should feel the switch
inside the unit slide up and stop.Be sure to insert the screwdriver
straight in and not at an angle where the switch might be missed.
The unit may make some brief noises
but should be silent and not con-
tinue to beep after one (1) minute.
