Use and Care Manual

12. Battery Backup

This alarm is powered with AC power, but also contains two replaceable AA backup batteries.

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.

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. Loss of AC power and a

missing or improperly installed battery will render the unit inoperable.
