3. Switching on Your CO Alarm
NOTE: Your CO alarm must be installed by a competent person using the guidance that follows;
1. Remove the baeries from the pack and insert them into the baery compartment. Make
sure that you fit the baeries in accordance with the polarity markings (+ or -) within the
baery compartment. If correctly installed, the alarm will give a short beep.
2. Push the test buon. The alarm will beep once followed by a brief pause. Then the alarm
will sound fully for 10 seconds. This confirms that the alarm is powered up and working.
3. If you have a digital read-out alarm (model 5DCO) the LCD screen will show “---“ and then
“888” before seling at “0”
4. Check that the green LED flashes at 30 second intervals to show that the alarm has power.
This is easiest to see in a dark area, or with lights switched off.
