Part One – Your Nighthawk CO Alarm

NOTE: Pressing the Test/Reset button tests the functions of the

alarm’s internal components, circuitry and micro-computer. YOU

DO NOT NEED TO PRESS THE TEST BUTTON TO TAKE A CO

READING. CO readings are automatically shown on the alarm’s

digital display. If the alarm shows zero (0), then no measurable

amount of CO has been sensed by the alarm within the past 15

seconds.

How to Know If Your Alarm is Malfunctioning

Your alarm performs an internal self-diagnosis every 15 seconds to

make sure that it is functioning properly. The alarm is designed to

alert you in the unusual event of a malfunction.

If the alarm malfunctions.

In the rare event that your alarm malfunctions, it will alert you with

one of these signal groups (depending upon the type of

malfunction that occurs):

Malfunction Signal Group 1 - Component Failure

– An intermittent “chirping” alarm will sound every 20 secs., and

– An “Err” message will appear on the digital display

OR,

Malfunction Signal Group 2 - Microprocessor Failure

– The alarm will sound continuously, and

– The digital display will be blank, and

– The alarm cannot be shut off by pushing “Test/Reset” button

Unplug the alarm immediately and return for warranty exchange

(see “Warranty” on back page).

Low Battery Warning

If the 9V battery is missing, or if the battery’s power is low, an “Lb”

message will display which blink’s alternately with the current CO

reading every second. If this happens, you need to replace the bat-

tery. Refer to page 1-5 for more on low battery warnings.

What to do if you’re not sure...

PLEASE familiarize yourself with the malfunction alert, and do not

confuse these signals with an alarm. After reading the information

above, if you are still unsure whether your alarm is operating prop-

erly, call the KIDDE toll-free consumer hotline at 800-880-6788 to

do a quick diagnostic check of the alarm over the phone. The cus-

tomer service representative will be able to assist you and answer

your questions.

If your alarm sounder is beeping, and you are not sure if it is a CO

alarm or a malfunction alert, reset the alarm, open windows for

ventilation, turn off fuel-burning appliances (like kerosene or oil

heaters, furnaces, gas ranges, wood-burning stoves, water heaters,

or other fossil-fuel burning appliances). For furnaces, you can sim-

ply turn down the thermostat to its lowest setting. Open windows

and doors for ventilation. Then call the KIDDE toll-free consumer

hotline at 800-880-6788 for assistance.

Remember, if you call a qualified technician (such as a licensed

heating contractor, utility service technician, chimney sweep or fuel

provider) to check your residence for CO, you will most likely be

charged for a service call. KIDDE customer service operators are

available to answer your questions and assist you in non-emer-

gency situations at no charge.

Constant exposures to high or low humidity

may reduce battery life.

We recommend you replace your 9V battery

at least every six months.

How to Test Your Alarm

There are two aspects of the alarm’s operation that can be test-

ed: the electronics and the sensor response. Instructions on test-

ing each are outlined below and on the next page.

Testing the Electronics

You should test the alarm once a month, following the direc-

tions listed below. If at any time you test the alarm and it does

not perform as described below, have it replaced immediately.

Turn to page 1-6 “How to know if your alarm is malfunctioning”

for a description of the characteristics of a malfunctioning alarm

and what you should do if a malfunction occurs.

Observe the alarm weekly to make sure the red

dot is blinking, indicating normal operation.

If the dot is not blinking, unplug the alarm

for three minutes, then plug in again. This

will clear the alarm for restart. If the dot does

not resume blinking, your alarm may be malfunctioning.

To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is

operating properly, you should notice the following:

• The display shows three eights , and then shows

a number (usually around 200). You should then hear

4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence –

followed by 4 quick beeps. The unit will then show the

three eights for several seconds. It will then return to

monitoring for carbon monoxide.

Familiarize yourself and household members with the alarm pat-

tern described above. In the event of a CO incident, this pattern

will continue to repeat as long as CO is present.
