Batteries
UL Note:
Each smoke alarm uses two 3-volt lithium
batteries. For UL installations, use one of
the following: Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic
CR123A, or Duracell DL123A. Do not mix
brands.
Inserting Batteries
The batteries must be correctly installed before the
panel can learn the smoke alarm ID. [Batteries are
shipped in the unit backwards.] You must remove
them and reinstall them correctly.
To insert batteries into the smoke sensor:
1.
Gently twist the cover counterclockwise to sepa-
rate it from the mounting bracket.
2.
Remove the batteries from the battery compart-
ment.
3.
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment.
Observe proper polarity.
4.
Leave the mounting ring off and proceed to
“Learning the Smoke Sensor.”
Low Batteries
When the batteries need to be replaced, the unit trans-
mits a signal to the panel. If the batteries are not
replaced within 7 days, the unit will chirp every 40
seconds until the batteries are exhausted.
Note:
If you test the smoke alarm or it goes into
alarm during this 7-day period, chirp delay is
canceled and the unit begins chirping immedi-
ately.
Programming
For more detailed programming information, refer to
the specific panel’s installation manual.
