o
perate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable
b
atteries since they may not provide a constant charge.

his unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but
t
here are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:
•
Test it at least once a week.
• Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum
t
he outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s

engaged. The Green Power/Smoke LED will flash On for 2 seconds/
O
ff for 2 seconds.

nment
in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable
replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s
s
uggested battery life,
y
ou MUST replace the battery immediately
once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).
To
replace the batteries (without re
moving Alarm from the ceiling
o
r wall):
1. O
pen the battery compartment.
2. Press tabs A and B as shown in the
diagram and remove each battery.
3. Insert the new batteries, making sure
they snap completely into the battery
compartment. Match the terminals on
the ends of the batteries with the
terminals on the unit.
4. Close the battery compartment, and
then test the unit by pressing the
