Kidde PI9000CA - Manual (Page 10)

Installation
9
Battery
This unit will not function without a properly installed
battery. When installing a battery, press the battery
reminder tab down into the battery compartment and
install the battery (See Image 4A and 4B). For initial
installation a pre-installed 9 V battery is included with a
battery pull tab that allows for easy connection.
CAUTION: If the battery reminder tab is not held down in the
battery compartment by the battery, the battery door will not
close and the unit will not attach to the mounting plate.
Testing
• After installation, test your alarm by depressing and
holding down the test button for 5 seconds until the
alarm sounds.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always
stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.
The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed
and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization
sensor chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will
sound a loud (85 db) alarm until the sensing chamber is
cleared of smoke particles.
