alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic

or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective

alarm, and it should be returned for service (see section 12).

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.

5. NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.

Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the

smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from

cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the

cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are gener-

ated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood

which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help

remove these combustible products from the kitchen.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,

get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to

see if one of the reasons listed in section 2 may have caused the

alarm.

6. MAINTENANCE

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).

This Model 0916 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V lithium battery

(alkaline or carbon zinc batteries may also be used). A fresh lithium

battery will last for one year under normal operating conditions

(included Longlife lithium battery is warranted for ten years). 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
