The i12040A and i12080A smoke alarms use a 9V backup battery (Carbon zinc
and alkaline batteries may be used). A fresh battery should last for one year
under normal operating conditions. These models have a low/missing battery
monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every 30-40
seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the
battery(s) when this condition occurs.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM
BATTERY REPLACEMENT.
Carbon-zinc type EVEREADY 1222; GOLD PEAK 1604P OR 1604S
Alkaline type ENERGIZER 522; DURACELL MN1604 OR MX1604;
GOLD PEAK 1604A PANASONIC 6AM6, 6AM-6, 6AM-6PI,
6AM6X, AND 6LR61 (GA)
NOTE: Do not use lithium batteries in this unit.
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
The SAFETY LIGHT (model i12080A only) portion is powered by one (1) 9V
alkaline battery. Under normal (standby) conditions, the battery should last at
least one year and provide 15 minutes of light when the alarm is sounding.
