Gold Peak 1604A. These batteries can be purchased at
your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified. Use of
different batteries may have a detrimental effect on the
Smoke/CO alarm. A good safety measure is to replace the
battery at least once a year, or at the same time you
change your clocks for daylight saving time.
End of Life Notification

every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the
alarm. A label has been provided on the side of the alarm
that has “Replace by” printed on it. Write the replace by
date on the label. The date written on the label should be
ten (10) years after the alarm was initially powered.

silence the trouble chirp for two days giving you extra time
to replace the unit when it is more convenient. To activate,
press the test/reset button. While in the End of Life Hush®
mode, will still detect CO and Smoke. This feature can only
be used for 30 days from the time the unit first indicates

not be hushed and must be replaced immediately.
REPLACE IMMEDIATELY!
