take up to 24 hours to FULLY charge the battery.

During the first 10-hour initial charge period or, until the battery has charged, "Lb" will be displayed along with the CO level (usually "0") and without an audible "chirp". When the initial charge is complete, the "Lb" will disappear. If however, after 10 hours the battery is not charging properly, "Lb" may con- tinue to flash AND there will be an audible "chirp" once every 15 seconds indicating the battery is not charging. If this occurs, make sure the connec- tion between the battery and the alarm is correctly oriented and fully seated. If not, disconnect the battery and reconnect insuring the alignment ribs match the slots in the battery. If it is properly connected and fully seated and "Lb" is still displayed along with an audible "chirp", contact customer service.
