To replace the batteries or the lamp (models i12040A and i12080A only), remove
the alarm from the trim ring by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF”
arrow on the cover (see section 3, figure 7). To disconnect the AC power harness,
squeeze the locking arms on the sides of the Quick Connector while pulling the
connector away from the bottom of the alarm (see section 3, figure 6).
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (models i12040A and i12080A only)
To replace or install the batteries you must first remove the alarm from the trim
ring by following the ALARM REMOVAL instructions at the beginning of this sec-
tion. After alarm has been removed , you can open the battery door and install
or replace the battery. Battery installation instructions are provided on the inside
of the battery door.
When installing the battery, press the battery reminder
finger down into the
battery compartment and install the battery (see figure

CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER(s) are
NOT HELD DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE TRIM RING.
The i12040A and i12080A smoke alarms use a 9V backup battery (Carbon zinc,
alkaline and lithium batteries may be used). A fresh battery should last for one
year under normal operating conditions. These models have a low/missing bat-
tery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every
30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low.
Replace the battery(s) when this condition occurs.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM BAT-
TERY REPLACEMENT.
Carbon-zinc type EVEREADY 1222; GOLD PEAK 1604P OR 1604S
Alkaline type ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604 OR MX1604; GOLD
PEAK 1604A PANASONIC 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,

The SAFETY LIGHT (model i12080A only) portion is powered by one (1) 9V alka-
line battery. Under normal (standby) conditions, the battery should last at least
one year and provide 15 minutes of light when the alarm is sounding.
