Since you didn't mention how they usually work, for OP, they literally just plug in to any power outlet. That's it. They cost like $50 CAD. They're just about the size of a smoke detector. They'll display a number and beep if CO levels are dangerous (upon which you should immediately leave the house and call the fire department).
Oh interesting, no mine are 9volt batteries, but I have seen the fancy ones that you wire into your house, I'm waiting for a clear weekend to redo all of my alarms and do those fire/CO combos that wire in and will send alerts to your phone if you're out of town too
