FAQs
How long does the battery last?
The Kidde 10LLCO features a sealed lithium battery designed to last for 10 years from the date of purchase. It is not replaceable.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Kidde 10LLCO comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Can I mount this alarm horizontally?
While the alarm is designed for wall mounting or freestanding use, horizontal mounting is not recommended as it may affect sensor performance and CO detection accuracy.
What is the purpose of the test/hush button?
The test button allows you to verify that the alarm is functioning correctly. The hush button temporarily silences the alarm during a non-emergency situation, such as while cooking, to prevent nuisance alarms.
How do I know when to replace the alarm?
The alarm will emit a specific end-of-life warning signal (typically chirps and LED flashes) when it has reached the end of its 10-year service life. It should be replaced immediately upon hearing this signal or after 10 years from the date of purchase.
Does this alarm detect smoke?
No, the Kidde 10LLCO is specifically designed to detect carbon monoxide only. It does not have smoke detection capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Alarm is chirping intermittently.
This usually indicates a low battery or a fault. If it's within the 10-year lifespan, check for environmental factors or consider replacement if the issue persists after testing.
Alarm does not sound during test.
Ensure the unit is properly installed and within its 10-year lifespan. If it fails to sound after repeated testing, the unit may be faulty and requires replacement.
Alarm sounds continuously.
This indicates a carbon monoxide detection. Evacuate the area immediately and call emergency services. Once the CO levels have cleared, reset the alarm.
LED indicators are not functioning.
Check if the unit is receiving power. If the unit is within its lifespan and the LEDs are still not working, the unit may need to be replaced.
