It’s 6am in the morning and the alarm is going crazy,said Lb. Thank you so much I changed the battery but didn’t know how to get the back off. You save the DAY!!!!! God bless you.❤❤❤❤❤
That battery cover is a serious issue. I absolutely could not open it...but by gosh i WILL open it...but their review will reflect my frustration. Thanks for posting this video.
Just installed mine. Came here to make sure I did everything right. By the way, user guide says: “do not install within 5 ft. of cooking appliances to prevent nuisance alarms” :)
@@TomLeeman Was to write the same comment. Kidde state a minimum of 5 ft. But recommend actually 15 ft or more. I set mine as around 20 ft from the natural gas fireplace up from the ground on a small table. If you use a propane tank, it should be low to the ground to the more effective.
It was plugged into wall outlet when this screen glitch occured. I own two of these detectors & have switched them from each other's location outlet but just the one unit had this problem.
Do you have a gas furnace? If you do, you could do that they’re 50 bucks though each I don’t know if you need to maybe the bedroom where you sleep in the kitchen if you have a gas stove
Thanks for sharing, I couldn’t figure out how to get the battery to stay in place.😅 I didn’t realize it ‘snapped’ onto the wiring. You saved the day, sir!!! 👍
People: better read the included instructions than listen this guy to make sure you do the right thing, he can’t even open the battery compartment since he was pushing to the wrong direction. Don’t waste your time like I did
Great informative video! Just got one today because I put in a water heater and want to make sure it's not leaking any gas.
Excellent idea I have a gas stove at my house so that’s the thing I worry about. Good luck. Stay safe and thanks for watching.

People like you make the world easier. Thanks!
Thanks for those kind words I appreciate it

You are welcome

Yeah, I put mine in a little bit too close

It's a good way to test to see if it works tho
Straight to the point love it
Thanks and have a happy holiday

I keep getting gas 215 every time I press the test-reset button. What does that mean?
That’s a good question I have to do some research on that one
That's normal. a number above 200 and Gas shows when you press reset.
@@luimobilefixes5279 thanks for that info because he
Thanks. Your video was very helpful.
You're welcome!
What buttons did you push to get it calibrated??? You did not show that.
I have to go back and make a new one
Ok so say u got a stomach issue & u let loose in the same room is that alarm gonna pick it up
That’s a good and hilarious question I guess we’ll just have to eat a plate of beans and find out
Vulgar
@Solid_Snack not nessasarily can u imagine the number of times it would go off who needs an alarm that would go off due to somebody farting
What does this (Lb) means after plugging it up?
low battery is my guess
Good luck thank you for watching
Can I plug mine in without a battery inside?
I think you need the batteries
Thank you so much Tom! I hope you have a wonderful day!
It will chirp unless you put the battery into it
What does it mean if the screen has no zero but only a blinking dot?
Good question I’ll have to do some research. You may have to reset it.
Means it's on battery backup, plugging it in will resolve this.
It was plugged into wall outlet when this screen glitch occured. I own two of these detectors & have switched them from each other's location outlet but just the one unit had this problem.
@@coma5553 is the outlet receiving power? Have you tried to put the working alarm where the seemingly faulty one is?
The outlet is fine & I've moved it to another location & installed a new one in it's old location
that 216 that appears at the beginning is normal
Will the alarm beep if you unplug it and plug it back in if it didnt detect a gas leak or monoxide?
I’m not quite sure you could try and see just to test it out. I don’t have this one anymore. Good luck thanks for watching.
@@TomLeeman i see
does it ever stop beeping???
You may have some gas for carbon monoxide above the level that should be
Do I put one in every room or what?
Do you have a gas furnace? If you do, you could do that they’re 50 bucks though each I don’t know if you need to maybe the bedroom where you sleep in the kitchen if you have a gas stove
I just set mine up, it’s just a dot blinking . What does that mean 😮
did you figure out what it means? Mines doing the same thing
Was looking for carbon monoxide codes.
It’s been a while since I made this I would have to do some research on that
I installed mine yesterday and it went off in the middle of the night with a 999 reading. Shouldn't be I be dead? Am I dead?
I don’t know I hope that it’s kind of weird might have to take it back and get a different one
Maybe not completely dead ; just feeling like it by being up all night!!!
Have your local power company come over to test for carbon monoxide and or gas. I love in MI and they will come for free to test for them
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Do you need to replace this unit very 5 years or will it continue to function properly
That’s a great question I would have to research it a little bit to find out
It says it needs to be replaced every 7 years and it will start beeping letting you know it needs replacement
What if err comes on after batttery is changed.
Check the batteries and make sure that they’re charged. I have a little battery tester that I use.
What does the number 97 mean? I’ve read online that it can mean error but idk if it’s right?
I have to do some research on that one and find out thanks for watching
It's mean low battery. If you look at upside down It's LB low battery
Thanks for sharing, I couldn’t figure out how to get the battery to stay in place.😅 I didn’t realize it ‘snapped’ onto the wiring. You saved the day, sir!!! 👍
Glad I could help
CO is Carbon monoxide. CO2 is carbon dioxide. This instrument detects CO (carbon monoxide).
You are correct, sir
@hardworker1957, The unit he has detects carbon monoxide AND gas leaks.
😊
I wish they made these Wifi capable
I’m sure they have one that’s like that
