Battery Replacement

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 batteries twice a year, 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 after seven (7) years of cumulative power.

REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN THIS CONDITION.

General Maintenance

To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working order, please follow these simple steps:

•Verify unit alarm, lights and battery operation by pushing the test/reset button once a week.

•Remove the unit from mounting bracket and vacuum the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt.

REINSTALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER CLEANING AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET BUTTON! IF TAMPER RESIST FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, REFER TO TAMPER RESIST FEATURE DESCRIPTION ON PAGE 15 FOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.

•Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
