3. Install the new batteries. Note the
polarity illustration in the battery
compartment.
4. Close the bottom cover. Note: The
bottom cover will not close if all three
AA batteries are not installed.
When replacing the batteries, use one of
the following approved brands:
• Duracell MN1500 or MX1500
• Energizer E91
• Gold Peak 15A
• Golden Power GLR6A
These batteries can be purchased where you bought the monitor or at a
local hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental
effect on the unit operation.
IMPORTANT: Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce
battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once
a year, or at the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving
time.
After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your monitor. Test
your monitor by using the Test/Reset button and check that the green
“Power” LED flashes once every 30 seconds.
Mounting
This CO monitor can be either wall mounted or placed on a tabletop.
For wall mounting, follow these steps:
1. Remove back mounting plate from the
unit, place it in the desired location,
and mark the location of the two holes
needed on the wall.
2. Insert the two screws provided until the
screw heads are protruding
approximately 1/8” from the wall. (If
mounting in a plasterboard or drywall,
drill a 3/16” hole in the wall and use
the plastic anchors provided.)
