BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
To replace or install the batteries you must first remove the alarm from the trim
ring by following the ALARM REMOVAL instruc-

installation instructions are provided on the inside
of the battery door.
When installing the battery, press the battery
reminder finger down into the battery compart-
ment and install the battery (see Figure 9).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FIN-

TOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT
ATTACH TO THE TRIM RING.
This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon backup battery (alkaline and lithium batter-
ies may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal
operating conditions.
