Dan, Thanks, sounds interesting. How did you come about deciding on this particular model?Terrie and I are going to probably replace the C O 2 detectors we have. They are the kind that plug into the electric outlet. I've heard they should be replaced every year or two? Do you know anything about that? What are the recommendations on the new unit you just got?

Al, I got these units via amazon.com although the twin pack of smoke detectors was actually from EAccess, but purchased through amazon. The programming was pretty straight forward. There was a little thum notch that was actually a drawer pull. Pull that out and put two double a batts in. I had trouble figuring out the battery orientation since they didn't have the usual spring thing at the negative end. They do go in in opposite directions from each other as usual though. You can probably figure it out from there. You have to hold the test button down until it says programming or something, then it will start asking questions and giving options. You have to be pretty damn quick on the draw to hit the test button again when it says the option you want to select. The second, and subsequent alarms get set up slightly differently. You put the batteries in, but before closing the drawer, you hold down the test button until the other unit beeps, then hit the test button on the first unit. Then you can close the battery drawer and go through the programming of the second unit. I think that's how it worked. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
