BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If tamper resist pin has been used, refer to TAMPER RESIST LOCK-
ING PIN in Section 3 for removal instructions.
To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the mounting plate
by rotating the alarm in the direction of the "OFF" arrow on the
cover (see Figure 7).
The Model 0916 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V carbon zinc
battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh
battery should last for one year under normal operating condi-
tions. 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.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE
ALARM BATTERY REPLACEMENT.
Carbon-zinc type

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
WARNING!! USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF
DIFFERENT BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT
ON THE SMOKE ALARM.
CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as out-
lined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior
of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vac-
uum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the open-
ings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm
can be wiped with a damp cloth. After cleaning, reinstall your
alarm and test your alarm by using the test button. If cleaning
does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
