metal disabling clip, which is attached to the
end of the tab, from the disabling socket
which is situated on the underside of the
detector. Retain the disabling tab for future
use by taping it to page 22 of the CO-9D user
manual.
When the detector is activated the screen
will display all of the icons, then after a few
seconds will show the current CO level.
The power indicator LED below the
symbol will also flash green once every minute

from the power pack and is fully operational.
A symbol will also flash briefly on the LCD
screen approximately once every minute.
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry by
pushing the centre of the Test/Mode button
briefly to confirm that the detector is operat-

as the button is pressed, and the Alarm LED
will illuminate red indicating that the sounder
is working and the power pack is providing

will switch to temperature mode, this is ex-
