• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details. • When the battery becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm unit will “chirp” approximately once a minute (the low battery warning). This low battery warning should last for up to 30 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection. Choosing a replacement battery: Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready (Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for longer service life between battery changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores. Actual service life depends on the Smoke Alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”). 2 OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURES The optional locking features are designed to prevent unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm. It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized battery or alarm removal is not a concern. These Smoke Alarms have two separate locking features: one to lock the battery compartment, and the other to lock the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket. You can choose to use either feature independently, or use them both. Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers • Standard flathead screwdriver. Both locking features use locking pins, which are molded into the mounting bracket. Depending on which locking features you use, remove one or both pins from the mounting bracket using needle-nose pliers. To permanently remove either locking pin, insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock, and pry the pin out of the lock. TO LOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT Do not lock the battery compartment until you have installed the battery and tested the unit. 1. Install the battery so the terminals on the battery match the terminals on the Smoke Alarm. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the battery in until it snaps in securely and cannot be shaken loose. If the battery is not snapped in completely, the unit cannot receive battery power. 2. Push and hold Test/Silence button until the alarm sounds: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. The Escape Light® will turn on. LED flashes once every second. If the unit does not alarm during testing, DO NOT lock the battery compartment! Install a new battery and test again. If the Smoke Alarm still does not alarm, replace it immediately. 3. Using needle-nose pliers, detach one locking pin from the mounting bracket. 4. Push the locking pin through the hole near the battery door latch on the back of the Smoke Alarm. TO UNLOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT 1. Remove the Smoke Alarm from the mounting bracket. If the unit is locked to the bracket, see the section “To Unlock the Mounting Bracket.” 2. Insert a flathead screwdriver under the head of the locking pin, and gently pry it out of the battery compartment lock. (If you plan to relock the battery compartment, save the locking pin.) 3. To relock the battery compartment, close the battery door and reinsert locking pin in lock. 4. Reattach the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket. When replacing the battery, always test the Smoke Alarm before relocking the battery compartment. TO LOCK THE MOUNTING BRACKET TO UNLOCK THE MOUNTING BRACKET 1. Using needle-nose pliers, 1. Insert a flathead screwdriver into detach one locking pin from the rectangular cut-out on the the mounting bracket. mounting bracket nearest to the locking pin. 2.

The Escape Light® will turn on. LED flashes once every second. • If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately. • If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. • Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.
