Battery Replacement
If any form of battery failure is detected the red LED light will flash and the unit
will “chirp” once every minute, and will continue for at least seven days.
Refer to Section 3 for information on installing the batteries.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING “AA” BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM REPLACEMENT:

These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified. Use of different batter-

CAUTION! Alarm will not engage to bracket unless all three batter-

After installing or changing the battery, reinstall your alarm. Test your alarm by
using the test/reset button and check that the green LED flashes once every 10
seconds.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!
WARNING! BE SURE TO FOLLOW BATTERY INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
