How do I change a smoke alarm battery?
If your smoke alarm batteries start chirping/beeping at you, it means the batteries are dead. Some smoke alarms are hardwired together, so if more than one is going off, listen for the one that chirps first as that is the one with the dead batteries. When one goes dead, it is a good practice to change all batteries in all smoke detectors.
Steps to change your smoke alarm batteries:
- There will be a cover or a tab that hides the batteries. Pull the cover/tab out.
- Take note of the way the batteries are facing.
- Remove the batteries.
- Replace the batteries. Make sure they face the correct direction.
- Place the cover back over the batteries.
