Battery Replacement; Where To Mount The Alarm - Kidde KN-COSM-B-RF User Manual

Battery Replacement

If any form of battery failure is detected the red LED will flash
and the unit will "chirp" one time, followed by the warning
message "Low battery". This cycle will occur once every
minute for the first hour. After the first hour, the red LED will
continue flashing accompanied by the chirp sound every 60
seconds. The voice message "Low battery" will sound once
every 15 minutes during the chirp-only cycle, and will continue
for at least seven days.
If the red LED flashes along with a chirp every 30
seconds, and is not followed by the voice message
"Low battery" as described above, your unit has
malfunctioned. Call our toll free consumer hotline at
1-800-880-6788 for instructions on how to return the unit.
Replace batteries with Alkaline Energizer E91. These batteries
can be purchased at your local retailer.
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
batteries twice a year, at the same time you change your
clocks for daylight saving time. Constant exposure to high
or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce battery
life.
NOTE: Do not use Lithium batteries with this unit.
