12. Batteries
This alarm is powered by two replaceable AA batteries. Under normal conditions, fresh batteries will
last at least one year.
NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures may reduce battery life.
WARNING: THE ALARM IS SEALED AND THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
Low Battery
This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point
where it can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition
will occur. See Troubleshooting Guide. The batteries must be replaced
within 7 days of the first occurrence of the “Low Battery Warning” to
provide continuous alarm detection.
Replace batteries with one of the following approved brands:
Energizer E91, Gold Peak 15A or Golden Power GLR6A.
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 alarm. Do not mix old and
new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE:
Do not use lithium batteries in this unit.
A good safety measure is to replace the batteries at least once a year, or at the same time you
change your clocks for daylight saving time. A missing or improperly installed battery will render
the unit inoperable.
WARNING: Failure to install batteries in the correct orientation will prevent proper operation of
this alarm and will prevent its response to fire hazards.
