Use only the r

operate pr
operly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable
batteries since they may not pr

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but
ther
e 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
the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s

When the battery back-up becomes weak, the Alarm will “chirp”
about once a minute (the low battery war
