Battery Removal
NOTE: If battery tamper resist feature has been activated it
will need to be deactivated in order to change the battery.
Refer to the Battery Tamper Resist Feature section for
instructions.
To replace or install the battery press down on the battery
door and then release to allow the door to pop open. The
battery can then be pulled out (Image 5). When installing
a new battery, make sure the battery terminals are facing
outwards as illustrated inside the battery door and that the
polarity matches the markings printed. Completely press
the battery door down into the alarm and release. The
battery door will secure into the closed position.
A missing or improperly installed battery will prevent the
battery door from closing and result in improper alarm
operation.
This alarm has a low 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.
