WEEKLY TESTING
• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might
accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home. The built-
in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL). If you choose to use an aerosol
smoke product to test the Smoke Alarm, be certain to use one that
has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Safety Standards,
and use it only as directed. Use of non-UL Listed products or improp-
er use of UL Listed products may affect the Smoke Alarm’s sensitivity,
and may void your warranty.
• If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.
Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for
replacement. See “Limited Warranty” at the end of this manual.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure
at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away
when horn starts sounding.
It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working prop-
erly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test this Smoke
Alarm. Press and hold the test button on the cover of the unit until the alarm
sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds after you release the
button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it
again. If it still does not alarm, replace it immediately. During testing, you will
hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.
When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit individ-
ually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Use only the replacement batteries listed below. The unit may not
operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries
since they may not provide a constant charge.
This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there
are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:
• Test it at least once a week.
• Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the
outside of the Smoke Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush
attachment. Test the Smoke Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents
since they may damage the unit.
• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or
grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the
unit immediately.
• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Locations
To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

Model 7010B Only: When the battery back-up becomes weak, the
Smoke Alarm will “chirp” about once a minute (the low battery warning).
This warning should last 7 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 battery 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 suggest-
ed battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit
starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).
UNDERSTANDING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS
AND ALARM HORN PATTERNS
NOTE: When power is applied, unit(s) may alarm momentarily.
*When any Smoke Alarm in an interconnected series triggers an alarm,
its red LED will flash rapidly. The red LEDs will remain OFF on any remaining
alarms in the series. This feature helps responders identify which unit(s)
triggered the alarm.
