This smoke alarm uses a 9 volt battery (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 40-50 seconds for a
minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low.
Replace the battery when this condition occurs. The low
battery chirp will occur at the same time as the red LED
flash.
Smoke Sensing Chamber Operation
This alarm will “chirp” if it detects a problem with the
smoke sensing chamber. This chirp will occur
approximately 20 seconds after the flash of the red LED
indicator light.
Clean the alarm. If the alarm is still chirping, replace the alarm.
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for replacement:
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.
• To the extent permitted by law, Chubb Fire & Security
Pty Ltd excludes all liability for loss or damage to the
extent caused by the use of batteries other than
Energizer 522; Duracell MN1604 or MX1604;
Gold Peak 1604A; Panasonic 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,
6AM6X or 6LR61 (GA); Ultralife U9VL-J.
• The use of other batteries may have a detrimental effect
on operation of the smoke alarm or may cause the
battery to explode resulting in injury or fire.
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!
