Battery Replacement

If any form of battery failure is detected the red LED
light will flash and the unit will "chirp" one time,
followed by the warning message "Low Battery! Pile
Faible!" This cycle will occur once every minute
for the first hour. After the first hour, the red LED
light will continue flashing accompanied by the chirp
only sound every 60 seconds. The voice message
"Low Battery! Pile Faible!" will sound once every
fifteen minutes during the chirp only cycle, and will
continue for at least seven days.
If the red LED light flashes along with a chirp every 30
seconds, and is not followed by the voice message
"Low Battery! Pile Faible!" as described above, your
unit has malfunctioned. Call our toll free Consumer
Hotline at 1-800-880-6788 for instructions on how to
return the unit.
Refer to page 9 for information on installing the
batteries. Replace batteries with one of the following
approved brands:
Duracell MN1500 or MX1500
Energizer E91
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 batteries twice a year, or at the same time you
change your clocks for daylight saving time.
Constant exposure to high or low humidity, or
temperature may reduce battery life.
