Turning off carbon monoxide detector.
Is there a way to disconnect or turn off the carbon monoxide detector without cutting the power to the entire unit?

Would it not be worthwhile to search out if indeed a truly superior unit exists?
I am terrified of carbon monoxide. Five decades ago when I learned carbon monoxide was five times more easily absorbed than oxygen in the lungs it made my hair stand out on end. Today, my hair has little chance to stand out on end.
I picked up a crate of detectors at the Lockheed auctions. Made by HP. Ugly, 12-24 volts with a huge coin cell battery inside. When 120vac power is lost the unit chirps every minute or so. They do have a chirper on/off slide switch on the reverse.
