Battery Replacement
Models i12040ACA and PE120CA
These alarms 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 when this condition
occurs.
Models i12040ACA and PE120CA use a 9 V carbon zinc
battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used).
A fresh battery should last for one year under normal
operating conditions.
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for 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)
Lithium Type Ultralife U9VL-J
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified above. Use of different
batteries than the recommended ones, may have a detrimental effect on
the smoke alarm. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least
once a year, or at the same time you change your clocks for daylight
saving time. Be sure to follow the battery installation instructions printed
on the back of the alarm.

AFTER THE RED LED FLASH. REPLACE THE ALARM IF THIS CONDITION
OCCURS.
