BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
Note: If battery carrier tamper resist feature has been activated it will need to be deactivated in order to change the battery. Refer to section 3 “Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature” for instructions.
To replace or install the batteries press down on the battery carrier and then release to allow the carrier to pop open. The battery can then be pulled out of the carrier. When installing a new battery into the carrier, make sure the battery terminals are exposed and that the polarity matches the markings printed on the battery carrier. Completely press the battery carrier down into the alarm and release, the battery carrier will lock into the closed position.
A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the battery carrier from closing and result in improper alarm operation.
This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon zinc battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operating conditions.
This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every
(7)days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condi- tion occurs.
