see Important Data from Owner’s Manual and my Special Instructions Sheets.

NOTE: C
O is almost ALWAYS picked up by Monitors while being transported, from both the
UPS Trucks and especially from the Propane
Forklifts being used in the terminals. Therefore, there may be C O accumulated
inside the housing and in the sensor when it is initially removed from its
individual box that will cause an alarm within a minute or so of initially
installing the battery. Before installing any Monitor, the “Stored Data”
should be electronically cleared.
To
CLEAR / ERASE all stored data, you simply depress the Test / Hush / Clear
button, and continue to hold it depressed until the Green L.E.D. illuminates
with a continuous, [not blinking], green light. Release the button, and
the Monitor will immediately sound a long single beep, and the LCD will display
“Clr”, indicating that all previously stored data has now been erased.
Removal
of the battery will immediately cancel the “Hush Cycle” feature; however, it
is very important to remember that removal of the battery does NOT “clear /
erase” the stored data saved in your Monitor. This can be a very important
feature in my opinion because it prevents you from accidentally losing this
important stored data which you might need to show to the 1st
Responders, the Medical, [Hospital or Hyperbaric Therapy people that could
possibly become involved or perhaps a Liability / Trial Attorney. The
stored data is cleared / erased ONLY when you intentionally / mechanically clear
the stored data.
When
the "Hush" is employed, the audible alarm is silenced for the
designated period of time: however, the visual display continues to show the
current level of CO present. IF, after any "Hush", the CO levels
present continue to rise to the next higher level, the Monitor will
automatically OVER-Ride the "Hush" and reactivate the audible alarm at
the higher, faster, level of warning.
To
activate / employ the “Hush” feature, as soon as the Monitor’s audible
alarm warning cycle competes the third of its 3 beeping cycles, simply touch /
push the test / hush / reset button and the LCD display window will show
“Acc”, to acknowledge your request the “Hush” to be employed. The
Monitor will then show “SIL”, to indicate that after three cycles of “test
beeps” is completed, [which follows every push of the “Test” button, every
time, for any reason], your Monitor will be SILENT for the specified period of
time, unless the C O present rises to the next higher level of warning.

The following is a Very Important Feature
Not
only does the “Hush” feature silence the audible alarm caused by carbon
monoxide, it will also silence any so called “false alarms” which can occur
with ALL C O sensors if the volume of “cross-sensitive” fumes / gases is
great enough to overpower the filtering system being used by the sensor
manufacturer. In such cases, the “Odor / Smell” of the these fumes / gas is
usually so strong that the consumer should be able to determine exactly what it
is: i.e., paint thinner, aerosol deodorant, etc.. and either vent out the fumes
or temporarily remove the CO alarm / Monitor from that area until the fumes can
be vented. After the fumes are vented, return the CO alarm / Monitor to its
proper location.
