Battery Installation and Replacement
To install or replace the batteries in this Kidde CO alarm, please perform
the following steps.
1. Slide open the bottom cover to expose the battery compartment.
2. If replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and properly dispose of
them as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
3. Install the new batteries. Note the
polarity illustration in the battery
compartment.
4. Close the bottom cover. Note: The
bottom cover will not close if all three
AA batteries are not installed.
When replacing the batteries, use one of
the following approved brands:
• Duracell
MN1500 or MX1500
• Energizer E91
These batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a
local hardware store. Use of a dif
ferent battery may have a detrimental
effect on the alarm operation.
IMPORTANT: Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce
battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once
a year
, or at the same time as you change your clocks for daylight saving
time.
After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your alarm. Test your
alarm by using the Test/Reset button and check that the green “Power”
LED is on.
