Low battery
This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point where it
can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition will occur.
See Troubleshooting Guide. The battery must be replaced within 7 days of the first occurrence of the "Low
Battery Warning" to provide continuous alarm protection.
To replace or install the battery slide the battery door open in the direction shown on the door. The battery can
then be pulled out of the compartment. When installing a new battery into the compartment, make sure the
battery terminals are exposed and that the polarity matches the markings printed on the battery compartment.
Slide the battery door to the closed position. A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the battery
door from closing and result in improper alarm operation.
Replace battery with one of the following approved brands:
ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604, PC1604; 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 alarm.
NOTE: Do not use lithium batteries in this unit. 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.
