So apparently my grandma hasn’t changed her batteries or her alarm in so long, because today when I went to visit, all day I kept hearing 1 beep and then a woman saying “low battery”. It was bothering me so I went to check, and sure enough it was her smoke/carbon monoxide detector. 😂 I’m going to change it for her, first thing tomorrow so thank you for this.

To anyone wondering, I had to disconnect it from house power first in order to drain it. Battery backups are still needed so to change have to disconnect the clip at the back. Expect multiple tests of the system especially when you unplug and replay replug it.

What do you do if the door closed and the red tabs are now stuck on the door?

Thanks lol it was doing the Bering and woman saying low battery for 15 mins the installers mounted it so that I can’t take it off and it was upside down and too high for me to see which way batteries go in, saved me a headache lol

There's a reason why a yellow tab is there. It's to remove the batteries easily. Edit: pull the tab while inserting the batteries. The tab should be below the batteries.

No. This one is designed for you to replace batteries while the detector is still up.

I'm assuming you have to disconnect the hard wire to do this?

No, you don't have to disconnect the hardwire, or even remove the alarm from the wall/ceiling to change the battery.

I opened the sliding door on my smoke detector to change the battery now it doesn’t close please help 😮
@MasterOfMinecraft3853 ай бұрын
If there’s a red safety tab (depending which model) the battery has to sit on the tab and the tab has to be under the battery in order for it to shut. My grandmother has Kidde Frynetics 1235 alarms and the tabs have to be down in order for the battery door to close.

I did all the steps, then after i closed the door and pressed the test button, it said there was a fire and sounded the alarm 😂 Edit Dont worry if this happens to yours. It'll go through all the voice and alarms as a test. Once its done you're good to plug it back in the ceiling :)

Usually you have to take out the batteries and hold the test button for a few seconds.
