Peak Level Memory
If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 100 PPM
or higher since last reset, it will be recorded by the
Peak Level Memory function. To access the Peak Level
Memory press the test/reset button. If a reading of 100
PPM or higher has been recorded the unit will chirp 8
times. If you’ve been away from home this feature
allows you to check if there was a CO reading of 100,
or higher, during your absence. Pushing the test/reset
button resets the memory. It’s also reset when
batteries are removed.
If the tamper resist feature has been activated, refer to
tamper resist feature description on page 6 for removal
instructions. Remove the alarm from the mounting
plate by rotating the alarm in the direction of the
“OFF” arrow on the cover.
Seven years after initial power-up, this unit will “chirp”
every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace
the alarm. A label has been provided on the side of the
alarm that has “Replace by” printed on it. Write the
replace by date on the label. The date written on the
label should be after seven (7) years of cumulative
power.
REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN
THIS CONDITION.

D e t e rmining what type of alarm has sounded is easy
with the Kidde Combination Smoke/CO Alarm. The
voice message warning system will inform you of the
type of situation occurring. Refer to the Feature s
section for a detailed description of each alarm pattern .
HUSH® Control Feature
The HUSH® feature has the capability of temporarily
desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for appro x i m a t e l y
10 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a
known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking,
activates the alarm. You can put your Smoke/CO Alarm
in HUSH® mode by pushing the test/reset button. If
the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence
immediately and the green LED will flash every 2
seconds for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates
that the smoke alarm is in a temporarily desensitized
condition. The unit will automatically reset after
a p p roximately 10 minutes. When the unit re t u rns to
n o rmal operation after being in HUSH® mode the
a l a rm will sound if smoke is still present. The HUSH®
f e a t u re can be used repeatedly until the air has been
c l e a red of the condition causing the alarm. While the
unit is in HUSH® mode, pushing the test/reset button
on the alarm will also end the HUSH® period.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the HUSH® control
feature and sound a continuous alarm.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm HUSH® feature,
identify the source of the smoke and be certain a safe
condition exists.
