BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If tamper resist pin has been used, refer to TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN in
the installation section under "mounting" for removal instructions. To replace the
battery, remove the alarm from the mounting plate by rotating the alarm
clockwise in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover (See Installation

The Model Q9080 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V carbon zinc battery
(alkaline battery 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 40 seconds for a
minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when
this condition occurs.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM

The safety light portion is powered by one (1) 9V alkaline battery. Under normal
(standby) conditions, the battery should last at least one year and provide 15
minutes of pulsating light when the alarm sounds.
NOTE: REGULAR TESTING IS RECOMMENDED. IF THE SAFETY LIGHT
APPEARS DIM DURING REGULAR TESTING, REPLACE BOTH BATTERIES
IMMEDIATELY.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT ALKALINE BATTERIES FOR SAFETY
LIGHT REPLACEMENT - Eveready 522, Duracell MN1604, MX1604 or Gold
Peak 1604A.
WARNING! USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE ALARM
OR THE SAFETY LIGHT
LAMP REPLACEMENT: The Safety Light has a 6.3 volt 250mA fuse type lamp
(average life of 50 hours). If the Safety Light does not operate with a fresh
alkaline battery, replace the lamp. To replace the lamp, remove the alarm from
the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm clockwise in the direction of the
“OFF” arrow on the cover. If the tamper-resist locking pin has been used, refer
to "installation" section for removal instructions.
Open the battery door and remove both batteries from the unit. Grip the lamp
holder handle with your thumb and finger (see Figure 6) and pull out the lamp
holder assembly (see Figure 7). Slide the old lamp out of the lamp holder and
replace it with a new lamp (see Figure 8).
Reinstall the lamp holder. It will snap easily into the base. Put working batteries
back in the alarm and remount the alarm on its mounting bracket.
