alarm will "beep" about once a minute (the
low battery warning).

should replace the battery immediately to
continue your protection.
When the battery is removed from the alarm,
the battery flag in the compartment will pop
up; therefore, the alarm cannot be installed to
the mounting bracket without a battery.
Only use the
recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm
may not operate properly with other
batteries. Never use a rechargeable
battery as it may not provide a constant
charge. Never disconnect the battery to
silence the alarm.
Regardless of the manufacturer's suggested
battery life, you MUST replace the battery
once the smoke alarm starts "beeping" (the
low battery warning).
