General Maintenance
WARNING! Use only the batteries specified. Use of different
batteries may have a detrimental effect on the Smoke/CO
alarm. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least
once a year, or at the same time yo change your clocks for day-
light saving time.
Alarm Replacement
Seven years after initial power-up, this unit will "chirp" every 30
seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. A label
has been provided on the side of the alarm that has "Replace
by" printed on it. Write the replace by date on the label. The
date written on the label should be after seven (7) years of
cumulative power.
REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN THIS
CONDITION.
To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working order, please
follow these simple steps:
• Verify the unit's alarm and LED lights operation by pushing
the test/reset button once a week.
• Remove the unit from mounting bracket and vacuum the
alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a
month to remove dust and dirt. REINSTALL IMMEDIATELY
AFTER CLEANING AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET
BUTTON!
• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols
near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere
with the sensor's ability to detect smoke and CO. Never
attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will
void your warranty.
Move the Smoke/CO Alarm and place in another location prior
to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
• Painting
• Wall papering
• Using adhesives
