Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you're in danger at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air. The First Alert CO605 carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. Installation is as simple as plugging it in to any wall outlet. The battery back-up gives you peace of mind in a power outage. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The unit monitors and re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery without affecting the alarm's operation. An end-of-life alarm of three chirps alerts you to replace the unit. Includes two AA batteries. 5-year limited warranty. UL listed. --Bree Norlander What's in the Box

Great detector

I really like this CO Detector. Don't confuse this with a model that only works on battery power or A/C power. This one runs on A/C power until your power goes out and then runs on battery power. This is necessary. Say your power goes out and someone stupidly turns on a gas heater in your house. The detector will go off when the CO level rises. If your detector only runs on A/C power, you'd be toast. For your sake and your kids sake, by a CO detector that runs on both A/C and battery power. I've had this for a year with no problems.

Bought this alarm in spring 2007. Manufacture date printed on back says 2007 Feb 07. Have had two sets of batteries in it in the time we owned it and recently it started beeping three "chirps" per minute. Checked the back and that means replace alarm... already?
Plugs into the wall, yet will not work without the batteries. Overall pretty disappointed. Previously used a NightHawk carbon monoxide detector. Nearly the same price and nice digital readout. Works off outlet. Unfortunately can't find that quality and price now that CO detectors are required by local code.
