WARNING! Use only the batteries specified. Use of differ- ent batteries may have a detrimental effect on the Smoke/CO alarm. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once a year, or at the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving time.

Alarm Replacement

Seven years after initial power-up, this unit will “chirp” twice every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. A label has been provided on the side of the alarm that has “Replace by” printed on it. Write the replace by date on the label. The date written on the label should be seven (7) years after the alarm was initially powered.

This alarm does have end of life Hush® which allows you to silence the trouble chirp for two days giving you exrtra time to replace the unit at a more convenient time. To activate, press the test/reset button. While in the End of Life Hush® mode, will still detect CO and Smoke. This feature can only be used for 30 days from the time the unit first indicates end of life. At the end of the 30 day period the alarm can- not be hushed and must be replaced immediately.

REPLACE IMMEDIATELY!
