Batteries
Always keep batteries away from open flame and high temperatures. Avoid direct
sunlight and radiated heat! Lithium batteries have a risk of explosion!
Always remove all batteries from battery-operated devices that are only in storage
and are not in use. Old batteries can leak and damage the device!
Do not use rechargeable batteries!
When inserting the battery, make sure the polarity is correct. Using the battery in-
correctly can damage the device!
After each battery change, the smoke detector must be checked for proper operation
using the test equipment (see section
Test alarm
on page 12).
The Home Control Smoke Detector requires a commercially available CR123 3V lithium battery.
For information on replacing the battery, please refer to the Home Control online help.
