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.
If any form of battery failure is detected the red LED light will
flash and the unit will “chirp” one time, followed by the
warning message “LOW BATTERY”. This cycle will occur once
every minute for the first hour. After the first hour, the red
LED light will continue flashing accompanied by the chirp
only sound every 60 seconds. The voice message “LOW
BATTERY” will sound once every fifteen minutes during the
chirp only cycle, and will continue for at least seven days.
Low Battery HUSH® CONTROL
When the battery needs to be replaced, the unit will pro-
duce a low battery “chirp” once per minute. The Low
Battery HUSH® feature allows you to press the button on
the alarm producing the warning and disable the “chirp”
for a random period of up to 12 hours. This gives you a
chance to replace the battery at a more convenient time.
During this Low Battery HUSH® period, your alarm is
performing normally and is not desensitized.
If the red LED light flashes along with a chirp every 30
seconds, and is not followed by the voice message
“LOW BATTERY” as described above, your unit has
malfunctioned. Call our toll free Product Support Line at
1-800-880-6788 for instructions on how to return the unit.
CAUTION: YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM IS SEALED AND
THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
Note: If battery carrier tamper resist feature has been acti-
vated it will need to be deactivated in order to change the
battery. Refer to section 3 “Battery Carrier Tamper Resist
Feature” for instructions.
To replace or install the batteries press on the battery carri-
er and then release to allow the carrier to pop open. The
battery can then be pulled out of the carrier. When
installing a new battery into the carrier, make sure the bat-
tery terminals are exposed and that the polarity matches
the markings printed on the battery carrier. Completely
