This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon backup battery (alkaline and lithium batteries
may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operat-
ing conditions.
This alarm has a low/missing battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm
to “chirp” approximately every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days
when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.
