What a silent alarm does and does not prove · review
A plug-in alarm with a CO display, a rotating plug and AA backup, naming UL 2034 5th Edition.
Kidde states a backlit CO display, an 85 dB alarm, 120V power with 2 AA backups, a rotating plug, and UL 2034 5th Edition.
A home CO alarm is built to hold off at low levels: see our UL 2034 page for the alarm windows. A silent alarm does not prove the air is free of CO.
If the alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or the fire department from there. Check the replace-by date, and follow the manual and your local code on where to mount it.
