Instructions for the BRK Electronics' Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Install one alarm on the wall or ceiling of each separate sleeping area.To install, hold the alarm base firmly and pull up on the tab marked "Open Here" to open the hinged cover. Place the base against the ceiling or wall and use a pencil to make a mark at the center of each of the mounting slots. Use a 5 mm drill bit to drill a hole through each pencil mark, then insert the plastic screw anchors that are included into the holes. Use a screwdriver to screw the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling. Place the unit in the mounting plate and turn until secure.

Install the battery that is included, or buy one, so that the terminals on the battery match the terminals on the alarm. Close the compartment cover. When the battery is installed, the red power light will flash once each minute to indicate the alarm is working.

Perform weekly testing on the alarm. Press and hold the "Test" button on the cover until the LED light flashes. The "Alarm" light will flash and the alarm will sound four beeps, then pause before sounding four beeps again. If there is no alarm sound, make sure a fresh battery is correctly installed, and test the unit again. If the unit still does not signal an alarm, replace it immediately.

Move to an area of fresh air either by exiting the home or standing near an open window if the alarm sounds. Call an emergency services provider. Do not re-enter the home or move away from the window until the responders arrive. Stay outside until the premises have been aired out and the carbon monoxide leak repaired.
