If your Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm chirps once every 30 seconds with a red LED flash, and digital units display, it indicates that the batteries are low and need replacing. Refer to the Battery Installation/Replacement section for instructions. Alternatively, it may signal a sensor or unit malfunction, in which case you should replace the unit if necessary.
