7. Battery Installation, Replacement and Test
Battery Installation for Model 6000
• This model uses one 9V battery to automatically provide backup power to the alarm if
AC power fails. A fully charged 9V battery will operate the smoke alarm for one year with AC
power off.
• The smoke alarm has a low battery indicator that will cause the unit to chirp at approximately
40 second intervals for a minimum of 30 days. Missing battery with main power connected will
cause the unit to chirp at approximately 40 second intervals.
• Replace battery when chirping occurs. To ensure proper operation, the battery should be
replaced once a year.
• To replace battery, remove alarm from mounting base (see section 6) and remove the battery
from compartment. Replace the old battery with a new one.
• The smoke alarm has a low battery hush feature. When the smoke alarm emits a low battery
chirp, pressing the Hush button will silence or snooze the low battery chirp for 8 hours.
