Maintenance
This smoke alarm uses a 9 volt battery (carbon zinc, alkaline
and lithium batteries may be used). A fresh battery should
last for one year under normal operating conditions.
This alarm has a low battery monitor which will cause the
alarm to “chirp” approximately every 40 seconds for a
minimum of 30 days when the battery gets low.
Replace the battery when this condition occurs.
The low battery chirp will occur approximately 10
seconds after the red LED flash.
Continued chirping after battery replacement may indicate
defective circuitry and alarm should be replaced.
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for replacement:
Carbon-Zinc Type Eveready 1222; Gold Peak 1604S
Alkaline Type
Energizer 522
Duracell MN1604 or MX1604
Gold Peak 1604A
Panasonic 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,
6AM6X or 6LR61(GA)
Lithium Type
Ultralife U9VL-J
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified above. Use of
different batteries than the recommended ones, may have
a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm. A good safety
measure is to replace the battery at least once a year, or at
the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving
time. Be sure to follow the battery installation instructions
printed on the back of the alarm.
NOTE: REGULAR WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!
