CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up  
of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin level and inter-  
feres with the body’s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending  
on the concentration, carbon monoxide can kill in minutes.  
Installation Instructions ....................................7-9  
Mounting  
Where to Install  
Where NOT to Install  
The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning, or misuse of,  
gas appliances used for heating and cooking, vehicles engines, elec-  
tric generators, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning  
heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an  
enclosed space.  
Indications of CO poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but  
with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness,  
headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is  
susceptible to the danger of CO, but unborn babies, small children,  
pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory  
problems may experience symptoms sooner. Each year a qualified  
technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents,  
chimney, and flues.  
Your new Kidde CO alarm has a five year limited warranty. Please  
take a few minutes to thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarize  
yourself and your family with its operation. Your Kidde CO alarm was  
designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of com-  
bustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gases.

Installation Instructions  
Mounting  
Where NOT To Install Your Kidde CO Alarm  
1. Using the template provided (see  
page 25). Mark the location on wall.  
2. Insert the two screws provided until  
the screw heads are approximately  
1/8” from wall. (If mounting in  
plaster board or drywall, drill 3/16”  
hole and use the plastic anchors  
provided.)  
Do not install in dead air spaces such as peaks of vaulted  
ceilings, or gabled roofs.  
Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans. Do not place  
near fresh air vents or close to doors and windows that open  
to the outside.  
Keep the CO alarm away from excessively dusty, dirty, or  
greasy areas such as kitchens, garages and furnace rooms.  
Dust, grease and household chemicals can affect the sensor.  
Figure 1  
3. Hook the Kidde CO Alarm unit over the screws onto keyholes in back  
of unit.  
Keep out of damp and humid areas such as the bathroom.  
Avoid spraying aerosols near the CO alarm.  
The digital model 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.  
Do not install in areas where the temperature is below 40  
degrees Fahrenheit (4.4° Celsius) or hotter than 100 degrees  
Fahrenheit (37.8° Celsius) during use. This unit can be stored  
to -10 degrees Fahrenheit without harm to the alarm but it  
must be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for use.  
Two self adhesive labels are included with the CO alarm. Add the phone  
number of your emergency service provider in the space provided. Place  
one label next to the alarm and one label near a fresh air source such as a  
door or window.  
Do not place behind curtains or furniture. CO must be able  
to reach the sensor for the unit to accurately detect CO.  
Where To Install Your Kidde CO Alarm  
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the  
placement and installation of your Kidde CO Alarm.  
DO NOT locate Alarm within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any  
cooking appliance.  
Be aware that certain conditions can result in transient CO  
situations, such as: i) Excessive spillage or reverse venting of  
fuel-burning appliances caused by: 1) outdoor ambient condi-  
tions, such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high  
gusts or wind and insufficient draft in vent pipes; 2) negative  
pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans; 3)  
simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances  
competing for limited internal air; 4) loose vent pipe connec-  
tions from fuel-fired appliances; 5) obstructions, or unconven-  
tional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situa-  
tions; 6) poorly designed and maintained chimneys and/or  
vents; ii) extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices  
(range, oven, fireplace, etc.); iii) temperature inversions which  
can trap exhaust near the ground; and iv) car idling in an  
open or closed attached garage, or near a home.  
When wall mounting, place out of the reach of children.  
Under no circumstance should children be allowed to  
handle the CO alarm.  
Install in a sleeping area.  
Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of  
the digital display.  
Insure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed.  
For tabletop mounting we recommend the unit be  
placed no higher than three feet from the floor.  
WARNING: The installation of this device should not be used as a sub-  
stitute for proper installation, use, and maintanence of fuel-burning  
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

Features and Operation of Digital Display Model  
Your new Kidde Battery Powered CO Alarm utilizes sophisticated  
electronic components to protect you and your family from the  
dangers of CO.  
Other Possible Displays and Their Meanings  
The following symbols will appear on the display during  
normal or error operations, and are explained below.  
Unique features include a digital display capable of displaying CO  
concentrations in (PPM) Parts Per Million and the highest levels  
of CO detected. Familiarize yourself with these features:  
Normal Operation  
Normal operation (see figure 3) with a full battery.  
The dot in the lower right corner cycles on and off  
every 5 seconds. If CO is present the display will  
Figure 3  
indicate the reading in Parts Per Million (PPM).  
Digital Display Backlight Feature  
To help see the displayed reading in the dark, a backlight appears  
when the peak level button is pressed.  
Normal Operation following Power-up or Reset  
Figure 4 shows the normal display immediately  
after installing batteries or after the test/reset  
button is pressed. The display should change to the  
normal display (see figure 3) approximately  
30 seconds after pressing the test/reset button.  
(see Test/Reset Button page 13).  
Digital Display - Shows CO level in PPM  
Your Kidde CO alarm continuously displays a digital readout of  
the CO level in Parts Per Million (PPM). The digital display is  
capable of detecting and displaying readings between 30 and 999  
(PPM). A reading of 0 PPM is expected under  
Figure 4  
If the test/reset button is pressed, the alarm will sound. The display  
will show a number during the time that the alarm is sounding.  
This number is a normal part of the test function, and does  
not indicate a CO reading.  
normal conditions  
(see figure 2).  
Figure 2  
You will become accustomed to glancing at the  
Peak Level Display  
display in much the same manner as you look at a thermometer  
or clock. The unit will not automatically display reading below 30  
PPM. However, readings between 11 and 999 PPM will be stored  
in the Peak Level Memory.  
When the peak level button is pressed and held,  
the display shows the highest CO reading taken  
by the CO alarm since its last peak level reset or  
power-up(Example shown in Figure 5). The  
backlight will illuminate for several seconds after  
the peak level button is pressed to help see the  
reading.  
Figure 5  
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.

Peak Level Display (Cont.)  
Resetting the Peak Level Reading  
To reset or clear the peak level reading, press and hold the peak  
level button and then press and hold the test/reset button at the  
same time. The number on the display will return to 0 PPM. CO  
concentrations displayed below 30 PPM in memory are for ref-  
erence only and the accuracy of the concentration shown may  
not be as accurate as noted on page 26.  
The peak level feature is helpful in identifying low level CO occur-  
rences below 30 PPM. Although the unit will not automatically  
display levels below 30 PPM, it will detect and store these read-  
ings in memory. By pressing the peak level button, concentration  
levels as low as 11 and up to 999 PPM will be displayed.  
Concentrations of CO between 0 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. Just a few examples of conditions and/or sources  
that may cause low level readings are heavy automobile traffic, a  
running vehicle in an attached garage, an appliance that emits CO  
when starting up, a fire in a fireplace or charcoal in a nearby barbecue.  
A temperature inversion can trap CO generated by traffic and other  
fuel burning appliances causing readings of CO.  
Note: The peak level reading will also be reset when the  
batteries are removed.  
Unit Malfunction  
In the rare event that your alarm malfunctions,  
it will alert you with a short “chirp” and the red  
LED will flash once every 30 seconds. The  
Figure 6  
digital model will display “Err” as shown in  
Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks but could  
develop into CO concentrations that could 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. Refer to page 18 for more details.  
Fig. 6.  
Seven years after initial power up, this unit will "chirp" every  
30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm.  
The unit will not detect CO in this condition. Please replace  
immediately.  
Note: Your Kidde CO Alarm will NOT monitor CO levels while an  
error warning is being displayed.  
Low Battery  
If the batteries become “low”, the alarm will  
alert you with a short “chirp” and the red LED  
Figure 7  
will flash once every 30 seconds for up to 7 days.  
The digital models will display “Lb” as shown in Fig. 7.

If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will terminate  
the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert in the first  
place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the CO alarm sounds  
again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which  
can quickly become a dangerous situation.  
If this happens follow What To Do If The Alarm Sounds on pages  
18-20. Reactivation times depend on the amount of CO that caused  
the CO alarm to initially alarm and the amount of CO present after  
resetting the alarm.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning  
The following common symptoms are related to carbon monoxide  
poisoning and should be discussed with ALL members of the  
household. Learn the difference between mild, medium and  
extreme levels.  
WARNING: Actuation of your CO  
Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon  
!
Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.  
Caution: This CO alarm will only indicate the presence of CO at  
the sensor. CO may be present in other areas.  
1) Operate test/reset button;  
2) Call your emergency services (fire dept. or 911);  
PHONE NUMBER  
Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often  
described as “Flu-like” symptoms).  
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,  
confusion, fast heart rate.  
3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/win-  
dow. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do  
not re-enter the premises nor move away from the open door/win-  
dow until the emergency services responders have arrived, the  
premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal  
condition.  
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour  
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to  
investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and  
appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.  
Extreme Exposure:  
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.  
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE 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. Young  
children and household pets are typically the first affected.  
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult  
your doctor immediately!  
PHONE NUMBER  
If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment  
serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected  
by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or con-  
tact the manufacturer’s directly, for more information about CO safety  
and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have  
not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the resi-  
dence.  
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected.  
Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

What To Do If The Alarm Sounds (cont.)  
Caring for your Kidde Battery Powered  
CO Alarm  
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term expo-  
sures 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 carbon monoxide present, the sooner  
the alarm will be triggered.  
To keep your CO alarm in good working order, please  
follow these simple steps:  
Verify unit alarm, lights and battery operation by pushing  
the test button once a week.  
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 ventila-  
tion 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 temporarily solved, it’s crucial that the  
source of the CO is determined and that the appropriate repairs  
are made.  
Vacuum the CO alarm cover with a soft brush attachment  
once a month to remove accumulated dust.  
Instruct children never to play with the CO alarm. Warn  
children of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the CO alarm.  
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other  
aerosols near the CO alarm.  
This CO alarm meets the UL alarm response time requirements as follows:  
At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes  
At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes  
At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes  
Do not paint the CO alarm. Paint will seal the vents and  
interfere with the sensor ability to detect CO.  
Do not place near a diaper pail.  
WARNING  
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor residential  
areas. It is not designed to measure compliance with commercial  
and industrial standards.  
This device is designed to protect individuals from acute effects  
of of carbon monoxide exposure. It may not fully safeguard indi-  
viduals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a  
medical practitioner. Individuals with medical problems may con-  
sider using warning devices, which provide audible and visual sig-  
nals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

Wall Mounting Template  
Frequently Asked Questions  
If you are going to mount your Kidde CO Alarm to the wall, you  
may use this template for exact placement of the two wall mount  
screws provided. For more information about mounting to the wall,  
please refer to page 8.  
Q.  
A.  
How many CO alarms do I need?  
There is no formula for determining how many CO  
alarms you will need. It all depends on the layout of your home,  
how many bedrooms you have, where the heat sources are,  
and where the fuel-burning appliances are located. The  
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends  
installing at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible  
warning signal near the sleeping area. The International  
Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) also recommends UL listed  
carbon monoxide alarms – on every level of the home and in  
areas near appliances that are potential sources of CO.  
2.375"  
Q.  
A.  
Do I have to press the test button to get a CO reading?  
No. Your Kidde CO alarm continuously monitors the air  
for carbon monoxide. The CO alarm will alert you to the pres-  
ence of CO automatically. To test the internal components and cir-  
cuitry of your CO alarm, press the test/reset button.
