Note: This alarm is shipped from the factory with the battery dis-

Battery Installation and Operation
Install the battery by first
removing the battery door
and the battery pack.
Align the connector with the
slot in the battery. Insure the
orientation of the two align-
ment ribs align with the slots in
the battery case.
(Red dot on battery will align
with red wire). Press the con-
nector in until it is fully seated.
See drawing at right.
Be sure to correctly insert battery into the
battery compartment (with wires at top) as
shown in drawing at right. After inserting
battery, replace back door.
Upon initial power up or after the alarm has
operated on battery backup and depending
on the charge state of the battery, it could
take up to 24 hours to FULLY charge the
battery.
During the first 10-hour initial charge period or, until the battery has charged,
"Lb" will be displayed along with the CO level (usually "0") and without an
audible "chirp". When the initial charge is complete, the "Lb" will disappear.
If however, after 10 hours the battery is not charging properly, "Lb" may con-
tinue to flash AND there will be an audible "chirp" once every 15 seconds
indicating the battery is not charging. If this occurs, make sure the connec-
tion between the battery and the alarm is correctly oriented and fully seated.
If not, disconnect the battery and reconnect insuring the alignment ribs
match the slots in the battery. If it is properly connected and fully seated and
"Lb" is still displayed along with an audible "chirp", contact customer service.
