To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the mounting plate
by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the

The Model PI9000 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V alkaline bat-
tery (lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should
last for one year under normal operating conditions. This alarm
has a low 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.

uum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the open-
