ated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood

alarm.

Please refer to section 3 for removal instructions. The tamper-resist
tab will have to be released in order to change the battery.

by rotating the alarm in the direction of the "OFF" arrow on the
cover (see figure 7).
The Model P9040 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V battery
(carbon zinc and alkaline batteries may be used). A fresh battery
should last for one year under normal operating conditions. This
alarm has a low battery 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
when this condition occurs.
