Features
Peak Level Button
By pressing this button, you can see the peak CO level recorded by the
alarm since it was last cleared or unplugged. This Kidde feature allows
you (or a heating contractor or a fireman) to see exactly how serious
the CO problem you have so you can react accordingly.
Sensor
The sensor is a highly sensitive, electrochemical sensor that is CO-specif-
ic to help avoid false alarms.
Sounder Alarm
This is the loud 85 decibel pulsing alarm that will sound to alert you to
a potential problem. An alarm condition is 4 quick “chirps” – followed
by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 quick “chirps”. This pattern
repeats until the alarm is silenced or a high level of CO is no longer pre-
sent.

Continuous exposure to this sound level at close range over
an extended period of time may cause hearing loss. We recommend you
cover the sounder with your finger or thumb while testing the alarm.
Keyholes
When the alarm is mounted to the wall, the keyholes slide onto the
screws mounted in the wall.

This unique Kidde feature enables the alarm to be used as a direct plug
unit, a wall mounted unit or a table top unit.
