Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector for Homes with AA Battery Backup and Test-Hush Button

The Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector, Plug-in Wall with AA Battery Backup, is designed to provide reliable protection against the deadly gas. Featuring an electrochemical sensor, this device can detect the presence of carbon monoxide in your home and alert you with an 85-decibel alarm. The setup process is straightforward, as the detector simply plugs into a standard 120V AC power outlet, while the included two AA alkaline batteries act as a backup in case of a power failure.

When carbon monoxide is detected, the digital display on the Kidde alarm shows the level of the gas, updating every 15 seconds. The Peak Level Memory feature records the last time carbon monoxide was detected or when the unit was tested, allowing you to easily check the device's history. The Smart-Hush button is a useful addition, as it silences the alarm for approximately 8 minutes, which can be helpful when the detector is triggered by routine activities like cooking or steam from the shower.

For optimal safety, it is recommended to install a carbon monoxide smoke detector combo on every level of your home and near bedrooms. This Kidde detector is UL Certified and comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty, meeting the requirements of various safety standards, including UL 2034, UL217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), the State of California Fire Marshal, NFPA101 (One and two family dwellings), and the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The easy installation process involves simply plugging the device into a standard 120V outlet in your home. The 2-AA battery backup ensures that the alarm will continue to function even during a power outage, providing an additional layer of protection for your family. The 85-decibel alarm ensures that you'll be alerted promptly if carbon monoxide is detected, and the Test-Hush Button makes it easy to test the detector or silence any false alarms.

Additionally, the Kidde carbon monoxide alarm features an end-of-life chirp that notifies you when the device needs to be replaced. This UL-listed alarm comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty on the alarm itself, not just the battery performance. The warranty period begins when the alarm is powered on, and if the activation date is unknown, it's recommended to assume that replacement is necessary.

In conclusion, the Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector, Plug-in Wall with AA Battery Backup, is a reliable and user-friendly device designed to keep your family safe from the dangers of carbon monoxide. With its various safety features and certifications, this alarm provides comprehensive protection against this silent and deadly gas.
