Battery Replacement

Models i12040ACA and P12040CA
These alarms have a low/missing 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.
Models i12040ACA and P12040CA use a 9 V carbon zinc battery
(alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should
last for one year under normal operating conditions.
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for replacement:
Carbon-Zinc Type
Alkaline Type
Lithium Type
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified above. Use of different
batteries than the recommended ones, may have a detrimental effect
on the smoke 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. Be sure to follow the battery installation instructions printed
on the back of the alarm.
