Battery Installation - Kidde 900-0259 User Manual

Battery Installation/Replacement
Installation/Replacement
Since batteries are not installed in the unit at the factory, you will need to
install them.
Your Kidde unit will continue to remind you to change the batteries for up
to seven days after low batteries are detected.
WARNING: Your Kidde CO alarm will not be operational and will not moni-
tor for CO levels without the installation of three charged AA batteries.
Your Kidde CO alarm monitors for battery failure such as bad or corroded
connections, sudden battery failure and other causes. If the alarm senses
any form of battery failure, the unit will start chirping an audible alarm
every 30 seconds, the green and red alarm light will ash. The battery
error warning will continue until new batteries are placed in the unit, or
until the remaining batteries become completely exhausted.
Three AA batteries have been included with your purchase. When replac-
ing the batteries, we recommend use of the following battery types:
• Duracell MN or MX1500 • GoldPeak 15A , GoldPower GLR6A • Energizer E91
Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last a minimum of
one year. These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
Note: Constant exposure to high or low humidity may reduce
battery e ciency.
