Leave your CO Alarm plugged in year-round. CO problems can occur any  
time during the year, and this Alarm can only alert you if it is plugged in  
and receiving power.  
This CO Alarm is intended for use in a standard, unswitched 120V AC wall  
outlet. It is not intended for use in extension cords, power strips, or outlets  
controlled by a switch or dimmer. These may not provide continuous power to  
the unit.  
When fully powered, it samples the air and takes a new reading about every  
second. A microchip inside the unit stores each reading, and remembers the  
levels of CO it has been exposed to over time. The unit goes into alarm mode  
when it has been exposed to a criticallevel of CO (measured in parts per  
million or ppm) within a specified time (measured in minutes).  
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a permanently installed sensor, three  
colored indicator lights, and an 85dB alarm horn. It also has a Silence Feature  
to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM  
USING THE SILENCE FEATURE  
This CO Alarm cannot operate without continuous electricity. It does not  
operate during a power failure. Do not use in an extension cord, or out-  
let controlled by a dimmer or switchunit must have a constant power  
supply.  
The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a  
CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after any  
alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.  
NEVER unplug your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use the silence fea-  
ture. Unplugging the CO Alarm removes your protection! See If Your  
CO Alarm Soundsfor details on responding to an alarm.  
Leave your CO Alarm plugged in year-round. CO problems can occur any  
time during the year, and this alarm can only alert you if it is plugged in  
and receiving power.  
The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarms alarm  
horn while you correct the problemit will not correct a CO problem. While  
the alarm is silenced, it will continue to monitor the air for CO.  
1. Plug the unit into a standard UNSWITCHED 120V AC outlet. In horizontally  
or vertically positioned wall outlets, mount unit with Test/Silence button  
facing upward.  
When CO reaches alarm levels, the alarm will soundrepeating 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.  
2. Make sure green light shines when you plug in the unit. It will shine contin-  
uously when unit is receiving power. The horn will chirponce during  
power up, or when power is restored after an outage.  
NOTE:  
3. Test by pressing the Test/Silence button firmly until the unit sounds: four  
loud beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The sequence should last 5-6 seconds.  
During testing, the green, yellow, and red lights flash. This is normal.  
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 higherthe horn will start sounding again.  
4. While testing the unit, have a family member check that the horn can be  
easily heard from the sleeping areas. The unit should be located where it  
can wake you if it alarms at night.  
While the detector is silenced:  
If the CO Alarm...  
This means...  
5. Find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this CO Alarm.  
Is silent for only 4 minutes, then  
starts sounding loudly4 beeps,  
then a pause, 4 beeps, then a  
pause. Red light continues  
flashing...  
CO levels are still potentially  
dangerous.  
On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder  
(like 911) and a qualified appliance technician.  
Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the fresh air”  
location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.  
NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as a person, firm, corpora-  
tion, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in  
and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating,  
ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and  
equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”  
If the CO Alarm...  
This means...  
Remains silent.  
Only the green light is on....  
Unit has returned to  
normal operation.  
IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS  
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide  
(CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds,  
you must not ignore it!  
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE  
WEEKLY TESTING  
IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:  
1. Operate the Test/Silence button.  
Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test correct-  
ly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working properly,  
it cannot alert you to a problem.  
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the  
number of your local emergency service here:  
__________________________________________________________________  
Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until a loud alarm  
sounds4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The alarm sequence should last for  
5-6 seconds. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.  
3. Immediately move to fresh airoutdoors or by an open door or window.  
Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-  
enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the  
emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired  
out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.  
If the CO Alarm is not working properly, refer to the Limited Warrantyat the  
end of this manual.  
4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour  
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to inves-  
tigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and  
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified  
during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any  
combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the  
manufacturersinstructions, or contact the manufacturers 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 residence. Write down the number of a qualified  
appliance technician here:  
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.  
DO NOT stand close to the CO Alarm when the horn is sounding.  
Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing,  
step away when horn starts sounding.  
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 CO Alarm again after vacuuming.  
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 unplug the CO Alarm!  
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 cause  
permanent damage.  
FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM  
Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be diffi-  
cult to locate the source of CO. See What You Need to Know About CO.”  
BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide  
investigation or service call.  
Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals and other contaminants can affect the  
sensor. When using any of these materials near the CO Alarm, make sure the  
room is well ventilated.  
If your home is being fumigated, unplug the unit temporarily and put it where  
it will not be exposed to chemicals or fumes. When fumigation is complete  
and all traces of fumes clear, plug the unit back in and retest it.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:  
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO  
WHAT IS CO?  
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor  
conditions such as:  
CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not  
burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances  
typically do not produce CO.  
Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in  
the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).  
Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.  
These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline,  
kerosene, and propane.  
Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited  
fresh air.  
Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly main-  
tained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.  
CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. Air-tight”  
homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can  
trapCO inside.  
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.  
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,  
fireplace).  
SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING  
These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed  
with ALL household members.  
3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.  
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.  
Mild Exposure:  
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (flu-likesymptoms).  
These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your  
home. Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate  
during a CO investigation.  
Medium Exposure:  
Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.  
Extreme Exposure:  
Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure. Exposure to carbon  
monoxide can cause brain damage, death.  
HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY?  
A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and  
sounds a loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for  
average, healthy adults.  
Some individuals are more sensitive to CO than others, including people  
with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant  
mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by  
CO. Members of sensitive populations should consult their doctors for  
advice on taking additional precautions.  
A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appli-  
ances.  
To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:  
Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and  
nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and cor-  
rosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air  
movement and cause backdrafting. Never capor cover a chimney in  
any way that would block air flow.  
FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM  
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult  
to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that  
can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:  
House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.  
Problem caused by backdrafting.”  
Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or  
oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a  
nominal fee.  
Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.  
Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check  
appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the  
burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means  
fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present. Keep the  
blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when they are  
available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are  
vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages  
or on screen porches.  
BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide  
investigation or service call.  
POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME  
Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on  
an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat  
exchangers.  
Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.  
Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping  
into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors  
can significantly decrease CO levels.  
In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this  
manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your  
CO Alarm sounds.  
Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace,  
gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.  
Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater  
vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or  
clogged chimney opening.  
Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an  
enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).  
Transient CO Problems: transientor on-again-off-again CO problems can  
be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon  
WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?  
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034 defines 3 specific alarm points by  
which all residential CO Alarms must alarm. They are measured in parts per  
million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).  
monoxide alarms UL2034.  
According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: Carbon  
monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to  
the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to,  
exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired  
appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon  
monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to  
the dangers of Carbon Monoxide exposure.This CO Alarm monitors the air  
at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threat-  
ening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the  
problem. This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and main-  
tained as described in this manual.  
UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:  
If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN  
4 and 15 MINUTES  
If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN  
10 and 50 MINUTES.  
If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN  
60 and 240 MINUTES.  
Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO  
Alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested  
for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane  
(500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon  
Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts  
per million.  
* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 15% to 95% Relative  
Humidity (RH).  
The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level  
of 30 ppm for 30 days.  
Audible Alarm: 85dB minimum at 10 feet.  
CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.  
Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume its not present.  
An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average,  
healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.  
An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy  
adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.  
This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are  
extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain mini-  
mum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm  
before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults.  
Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO  
problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO expo-  
sure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disori-  
ented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help.  
Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy  
adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However,  
people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant  
mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO.  
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor  
immediately!  
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS  
This CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in  
industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration (OSHA) requirements for carbon monoxide detectors must  
be met.  
CO Alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a source  
of carbon monoxide, this CO Alarm does not sense smoke or fire. This CO  
Alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed from malfunctioning fur-  
naces, appliances, or other sources. Early warning of fire requires the installa-  
tion of smoke alarms.  
CO Alarms will not work without power. This CO Alarm requires a continu-  
ous supply of AC power. Plug into an unswitched 120V AC outlet only.  
CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO Alarms  
warn against increasing CO levels, BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply  
in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and  
renters must still insure their lives.  
This CO Alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach the  
sensor. This CO Alarm will only sense CO at the sensor. CO may be present in  
other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO  
reaches the CO Alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed at  
night, we recommend you install a CO Alarm in each bedroom and in the hall-  
way between them.  
CO Alarms have a limited life. Although the CO Alarm and all of its parts  
have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possi-  
ble, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test your CO  
Alarm weekly.  
CO Alarms may not sense CO on another level of the home. For example,  
a CO Alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not sense CO in the  
basement. For this reason, one CO Alarm may not give adequate warning.  
Complete coverage is recommended. Place CO Alarms on each level of the  
home.  
CO Alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO Alarms  
have limitations. They can only detect CO that reaches their sensors. They  
may not give early warning to rising CO levels if the CO is coming from a  
remote part of the home, away from the CO Alarm.  
CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds  
current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet. However, if the CO Alarm is installed  
outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has  
recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is espe-  
cially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are  
awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or  
closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or  
other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn.  
This CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
