- Mal ikke alarmen. Paint can clog the openings and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect CO.
- Bloker ikke alarmens ventilationsåbninger. Ensure air can freely circulate around the device.
- Test the alarm regularly. Press the test button weekly to ensure proper operation.
- Ignorer aldrig en alarm. If the alarm sounds, follow the "What to do if the alarm sounds" instructions immediately.

The CO-9X10 can be wall-mounted or placed on a flat surface. For wall mounting:
- Select a suitable location, ideally at eye level or higher, but not directly on the ceiling unless specified by local regulations.
- Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the drill holes on the wall.
- Drill two holes and insert the provided wall plugs.
- Screw the mounting bracket firmly to the wall.
- Attach the CO alarm to the mounting bracket by aligning the alarm with the bracket and twisting it clockwise until it clicks into place.

Betjeningsvejledning
LED-indikatorer
- Grøn Power LED: Flashes once every 45 seconds during normal operation.
- Amber Fault LED: Flashes to indicate a fault or low battery. Refer to the Troubleshooting section.
- Red Alarm LED: Flashes rapidly during a CO alarm event.
Test af alarmen
It is crucial to test your CO alarm weekly to ensure it is functioning correctly.
- Press and hold the large "TEST/RESET" button on the front of the alarm.
- The alarm will sound a loud, distinctive pattern (typically 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps) and the Red Alarm LED will flash.
- Release the button. The alarm should stop sounding, and the Red Alarm LED should stop flashing.
- If the alarm does not sound or the LEDs do not respond as described, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Hvad skal man gøre, hvis alarmen lyder
If your CO alarm sounds, it indicates the presence of carbon monoxide. Follow these steps immediately:
- Evacuate immediately: Move everyone, including pets, to fresh air outdoors or open doors/windows to ventilate the area.
- Do not re-enter the premises until the alarm has stopped and the area has been ventilated.
- Ring til nødtjenester: Contact your local emergency services (e.g., 999 in the UK) or a qualified gas technician to investigate the source of the CO.
- Identify and resolve the source: Do not use fuel-burning appliances until they have been checked by a professional.
Stilhed funktion
The alarm may have a silence feature for nuisance alarms (e.g., from temporary high CO levels during appliance startup). Pressing the "TEST/RESET" button during an alarm may silence it for a short period. However, if the CO level remains high, the alarm will reactivate. Only use the silence feature if you are certain it is a nuisance alarm and not a genuine CO threat.
Opretholdelse
Regelmæssig rengøring
Clean your CO alarm regularly to prevent dust and debris from affecting its performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use cleaning solvents or sprays directly on the alarm.
Battery Life and End-of-Life Signal
The FireAngel CO-9X10 is equipped with a sealed-in lithium battery designed to last for 10 years. When the alarm reaches the end of its operational life, it will emit a specific end-of-life signal (e.g., two short beeps every 45 seconds, accompanied by the Amber Fault LED flashing). When this occurs, the alarm needs to be replaced immediately.
