A fresh Battery should last about one year. When Battery power
is low and replacement is necessary, the Alarm will “beep” about
once per minute for at least 30 days. The battery must then be
replaced. Replace battery if the alarm does not sound when the
Test Button is pressed. For maximum reliability, replace battery
at least once a year.

(b) Emergency Light Smoke Alarm
EI

When the smoke alarm senses smoke, the bright emergency
light turns on to help identify and light the escape route. The
Smoke Alarm should therefore be located where it will light the
escape route - in a hallway, above a stairs or near the exit.
