This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide sensor. 
Over time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be replaced with 
a new carbon monoxide detector. This detector’s lifespan is approximately 
ten years from the date of manufacture. The user should periodically check 
the detector’s replacement date. Remove the detector from its base and 
check the replacement date label on the underside of the detector. The 
label indicates the date that the detector should be replaced.

Note: When the detector is removed from its base, a message is sent to 
the central station. If the system is armed, a tamper alarm message is sent; 
if disarmed, a trouble message is sent. The detector will also indicate a 
trouble condition when it has reached the end of its useful life. If this 
occurs, it is time to replace the detector.

Note: Before replacing the detector, notify your central station that 
maintenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily out of 
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent 
any unwanted alarms. Dispose of detector in accordance with any local 
regulations.

Caution: It should be noted that installation, operation, testing and 
maintenance of the CO detector is different than smoke detectors. Per 
NFPA 720 section 5.3.7.2 the detector shall not be connected to a zone 
that signals a fire condition (i.e. smoke detector zones). Therefore, the CO 
detector must be programmed as a non-fire zone. See the control panel’s 
Installation Instructions for the appropriate carbon monoxide zone type to 
be programmed.

Caution: Never install a used or depleted battery, as this can result in 
unreliable operation. Only install new batteries.

To replace the battery:
1. Twist the wireless CO detector counterclockwise and remove it from the 

mountain base. 

2. Remove the battery, properly disposing of it.
3. To ensure the proper power-down sequence, wait at least 20 seconds 

before installing the new battery.

4. Following the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment, install 

the new 3-volt CR123A lithium battery. 

5. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base, and turn it clockwise to 

lock it into place.

6. Ensure the green LED is blinking about once every 10 seconds to 

indicate normal operation.

7. Test the CO detector as described in section 3, “Test the Wireless CO 

Detector”.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance 
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not 
occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible 
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada 
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device 
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation of the device.
