1.
Thank you for purchasing this Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm.
The symbols above mean that the alarm is suitable for use in
domestic premises (including static caravan holiday homes),
caravans, motor caravans and boats.
This manual contains important safety information about the
installation and operation of the alarm. Read the manual carefully
and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Honeywell offers three versions of its battery po
with different user interfaces and lifetime:
The basic model XC70 uses indicator lights to visually signal the
state of the unit and comes with 7 years life and warranty
XC100 and XC100D both show big alarm messages in the case of
an alarm,
XC100D has an LCD screen to provide more information about
rising CO levels and recorded CO peak levels.
In addition,TEST/HUSH

Warnings
Installation of a CO alarm should not be used as a substitute
for proper installation,
appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems.
This CO alarm is designed to protect individuals from the
acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure
safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in
doubt consult a medical practitioner
Long exposure to low levels (>10 ppm) of CO may cause
chronic effects. If in doubt consult a medical practitioner

following actions in the order given:
• Open all doors and windows to increase the rate of
ventilation
• Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and turn them off
where possible
• If the alarm continues,
the doors and windows open, and only re-enter the building
when the alarm has stopped
• Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of
Carbon Monoxide poisoning,
and advise that Carbon Monoxide inhalation is suspected

The CO alarm is set in accordance with the relevant European
