Battery Installation
The smoke alarm uses one 9V battery to automatically provide back-up power to the
alarm if AC power fails. The battery will operate the alarm for approximately one to three
months with AC power off.
The smoke alarm has a low battery indicator that will cause the unit to chirp and flash the
Red LED at approximately 33 second intervals for a minimum of 30 days. Missing battery
with main power connected will cause the unit to chirp and flash the Red LED at
approximately 33 second intervals.
Replace battery when chirping occurs.To ensure proper operation, the battery should be
replaced once a year.
To replace battery, remove alarm from mounting base (see section 6.2) and remove the
battery from compartment.Replace the old battery with a new one.
