If the smoke alarm tamper resist feature has been activated, refer to the
Alarm Tamper Resist Feature section for removal instructions.
To remove the alarm from the mounting plate, rotate the alarm in the
direction of the "OFF" arrow on the cover.
Battery Replacement
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.
This model uses 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
