A1. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas.
HOW IS CO GENERATED IN THE HOME?
Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various
home appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, fire places, wood burning
stoves, and space heaters are the major of cause of high CO levels in the home.
Automobile and small engine exhaust are another source of CO.
HOW DOES CO POISON PEOPLE?
The human body depends on oxygen for the burning of fuel (food) to provide us with
the energy that allows our cells to live and function. Oxygen makes up approximately 21%
of the atmosphere and enters our lungs when we breathe. In our lungs the oxygen
combines with the hemoglobin in the blood (oxyhemoglobin) and is carried in the blood
stream throughout the body where it releases oxygen to the cells.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it bonds more tightly to the hemoglobin
(carboxyhemoglobin) than oxygen does. When CO combines with hemoglobin, the
hemoglobin's ability to combine with oxygen is lost. As the carboxyhemoglobin
concentration rises, people become nauseous, unconscious and ultimately die (see
below).
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING?
Many people often confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with the flu; the initial
symptoms being very similar. Different concentrations of CO over various lengths of time
cause different symptoms.
Many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while the victims were aware
that they were not well, they were too disoriented to save themselves by either calling for
assistance or exiting the building. Also, due to size, small children and pets are generally
the first affected.
The following are the symptoms related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
Discuss them with all members of the household.
MILD EXPOSURE:
Slight headache, vomiting, nausea, fatigue (flu like
symptoms).
MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, Drowsiness, Confusion,
Fast heart rate.
EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, Convulsions, Heart and Lung Failure,
Brain Damage, Death

WARNING
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which
can KILL YOU.
If alarm signal sounds:
1) Operate reset/silence button;
2) Call your emergency services (tel. no. ) [fire department or 911];
3) Immediately move to fresh air -outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a
head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency
services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your
alarm remains in its normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period,
repeat steps 1 -3 and call a qualified appliance technician (tel. no. )
to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances,
and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified
during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any
combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturers' instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for
more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or
adjacent to the residence.
Condition which can result in transient CO situations such as:
1) Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by
outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
i) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in
the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for
limited internal air.
iv) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or
water heaters.
v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the
above situations.
2) Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace,
etc.).
3) Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
4) Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
!

-7-
A3. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS OF ALARMS:
The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of "At
least one CO alarm per household located outside the sleeping area".
CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the home, but because most CO poisoning
cases occur while people are sleeping, the best location for the CO alarm is near the
sleeping area in the home. If there is more than one sleeping area in the home (on a
different floor) or the bedroom doors are closed during the night, you may need more than
one CO alarm.
vLocate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. If more than one sleeping
area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
vLocate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with a door closed. The closed
door may prevent the alarm from waking the sleeper.
vLocate an alarm on every level of the home.
vDO NOT install unit within 5 feet of cooking appliances.
A4. WARNING!LOCATIONS TO AVOID:
NEAR THE COOKING AREA: CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause
false alarms. Also cooking grease can build up on the alarm and cause nuisance alarms.
CLOSE TO CIGARETTE ASH TRAY WHERE CIGARETTE IS RESTING AND
BURNING: Cigarette smoke does compose of CO gas that may cause false alarms.
CLOSE TO A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, OR SPACE HEATER: These devices often
spill out small amounts of CO when they first turn on.
IN OR NEAR BATHROOMS: Steam and high humidity can cause nuisance alarms.
IN GARAGES: Automobile exhaust contains CO and will cause the alarm to alarm.
IN DUSTY AREAS: Dust can build up on the alarm and cause nuisance alarms or failure
to alarm.
IN CLEANING SUPPLY ROOMS: Chemicals used in household cleaning and painting
supplies can cause nuisance alarms.
IN VERY HOT OR COLD AREAS: Do not install the alarm in areas which are below 40oF
(4.4°C) or above 100oF (37.8°C).
IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS: This alarm is not suitable for installation in a hazardous
location, as defined in the National Electrical Code.
A5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: REVIEW SECTION A3, RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS OF ALARMS AND
SECTION A4, LOCATIONS TO AVOID, PRIOR TO INSTALLING YOUR ALARM.
vThe proper power for the COCR-015 CO alarm is 120 volt single phase, supplied from
a non-switchable circuit which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.
Installation COCR-015:
vThe model COCR-015 has a line cord. Be sure that the outlet for installing the alarm is
not controlled by a switch and that it is not obstructed by bedding or furniture.

A6. OPERATION, TESTING
OPERATION: The CO alarm is operational once A.C. power is applied (green LED is on)
and testing is complete.
TROUBLE CONDITION: The internal microcontroller continuously monitors the sensor
and other critical components. If an internal failure of any of these components occurs the
alarm will flash the LED red, beep once every minute and the LED will blink yellow
continuously.
ALARM CONDITION: When the concentration of CO gas reaches a hazardous level, the
alarm will sound within the time limits outlined in section A2. The LED will light red
continuously when the alarm sounds. The alarm signal will sound 4 short beeps in every 6
seconds. The accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning
supplies or similar contaminants are used. See section A7 for false alarm information.
Voice message: during alarm condition, the instructions will be announced in the following
sequence: “Beep, beep, beep, beep, 70 ppm (or 150 ppm, or 400 ppm depending on the
level of alarm) carbon monoxide gas alarm, operate reset button, beep, beep, beep, beep,
call your emergency services, immediately move to fresh air”. These messages will be
announced continuously, until the reset button is pushed, or the CO gas concentration
drops below the alarm threshold level.
TESTING: Test your alarm by pushing the TEST / RESET button which is located on the
back of the cabinet and hold it down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will simulate a CO
concentration of approximately 400 ppm CO gas and sound the alarm if all the electronic
circuitry, and buzzer are working.
Voice message: during testing condition, the instructions will be announced inthe following
sequence: “Beep, beep, beep, beep, testing, testing, carbon monoxide gas alarm, operate
reset button, beep, beep, beep, beep, testing, testing, call your emergency services,
immediately move to fresh air”.
DO NOT TRY TO TEST THIS ALARM IN ANY OTHER WAY.
If no alarm sounds check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the “clock
radio/CO alarm”. If the alarm still does not sound the unit may be defective or have other
failure and should be returned for service (SEE SECTION A11).
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it
should be returned for service (SEE SECTION A11).
RESET: The CO alarm will automatically reset itself when the CO gas which caused the
alarm has cleared. The alarm will however alarm for at least 4 minutes if it is not manually
reset. You can also silence the alarm by pushing the TEST / RESET button. If CO is still
present the alarm will alarm again within 6 minutes if the CO concentration level is at 70
ppm or greater. If the alarm sounds again after reset, go to section A2... WARNING...If
alarm signal sounds:...and follow instructions 1), 2), 3), 4).
!

-9-
A7. FALSE ALARMS:
Carbon monoxide alarms respond to the presence of CO. They do not detect smoke.
If the CO alarm sounds, follow instructions 1 to 4 under WARNING in section A2… If alarm
signal sounds….
Some solvents used in chemical cleaning agents, paints, varnishes and the furniture
refinishing process, and some propellants used in aerosol hair spray and air fresheners
can cause the CO alarm to alarm if they are used in close proximity to the alarm for
extended periods of time. Gasoline or other flammable liquids stored in open containers
near the alarm may also cause the CO alarm to alarm. Never store flammable liquids in
open containers.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM HOME and you return to find your alarms
sounding, DO NOT ENTER YOUR HOME. Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's
home. DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR HOME FOR ANY REASON UNTIL YOU HAVE
BEEN ASSURED THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
IMPORTANT: A newly installed alarm may have absorbed various fumes or gases
during transit and storage. This accumulation contamination can cause the alarm to go
into the alarm mode during the initial power up. You can choose to do nothing and the
alarm will stop sounding in a few minutes or you can press the Test / Reset button to stop
the alarm. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure several times to clear the sensor
of the accumulated contamination. During this initial startup period the alarm may not
accurately detect the presence of potentially dangerous gas.
A8. MAINTENANCE : CLEANING YOUR ALARM
You can clean your alarm by using a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming around
the openings on the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
AFTER CLEANING, TEST YOUR ALARM BY USING THE TEST BUTTON AND CHECK
THAT THE GREEN LED IS ON.
A9. LIMITATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS
Carbon monoxide alarms are devices that can provide an early warning of the
presence of CO gas at a reasonable cost. However alarms have sensing limitations and
may not always sound a warning of the presence of CO. A.C. powered alarms will not
operate if the A.C. power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire, a tripped circuit
breaker or an open fuse. CO alarms must be tested regularly to make sure that they are
receiving power and operating properly. Carbon monoxide alarms cannot sense CO that
does not reach the alarm and therefore CO alarms may not detect CO which is in a
different area of a home. Furthermore if the alarm is located on a different level of the
home or on the other side of a closed door it may not waken a sound sleeper. The use of
drugs and alcohol may impair ones ability to hear the alarm. If you have a multi-level
home, install CO alarms on each level of the home. If the alarm is installed in a hallway
and the bedroom doors are kept closed at night, install a CO alarm in each bedroom.
Although CO alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning to the
presence of carbon monoxide, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy.
Homeowners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their lives and
property.

A10. GOOD SAFETY HABITS:
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE:
vMake a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes
from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
vHave a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in
case the alarm sounds.
vDetermine a place outside your home where you can all meet if an alarm occurs.
vFamiliarize everyone with the sound of the Alarm and train them to leave your home
when they hear it.
vPractice a CO / fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan
before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they
know what to do.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS:
vSee Section A2.
A11. SERVICE AND WARRANTY:

B9. BUILT –IN AFC.
The built-in automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works to help reduce drift in FM
reception and keep the radio locked in on the station to which it is tuned. AFC works only
on FM.
B10. ANTENNAS
AM –A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM
reception. Rotating the radio slightly may improve reception for distant AM stations.
FM –The FM antenna is an integral part of the power cord. It picks up moderate to strong
stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna inmost strong signal area. Be
sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord
together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.
B11. “NO WORRY” BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
(FOR CLOCK RADIO FUNCTIONS ONLY)
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered
with a customer installed 9 volt alkaline battery (not included). The power failure protection
circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.
When normal household power is interrupted, or the AC line cord is unplugged, the battery
will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into
memory. Should WAKE TIME occur during the power interruption, the radio will operate or
the alarm will sound if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume
after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset time or alarm. (NOTE: when on
battery power, the digital display will not light.)
Install battery as follows:
1. Lift off battery compartment door (located on bottom of radio).
2. Connect a 9 volt battery to connector.
3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.
NOTE:Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc (NEDA 1604)
batteries may be used but memory-holding time will be substantially reduced.

-14 -
CAUTION:
Carbon monoxide alarm is AC powered only. This battery backup system does not apply
to CO alarm.
Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm
are not operated ), which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To
preserve battery life, the radio should be remained plugged into an AC outlet. As the
battery gets older, its voltage will drop and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the
battery periodically. Battery is not included with this clock radio.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove battery when storing the set. Battery will be drained if left
connected when set is unplugged, and a worn out battery may leak chemicals which can
badly damage the clock radio. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the
proper manner, according to your state and local regulations.
