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 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.
NOTE: Low/missing battery monitor circuit WILL cause the unit to chirp while
replacing the battery. This function will cease once the new battery has been
installed. To avoid this “chirp” the unit can be removed from the base and dis-
connected from the AC power when replacing the battery, but it is not necessary.
