Smoke, Fire & Gas Detection FAQs
How do you change the batteries in the Ei smoke alarms?
On the side of the smoke alarm locate the removal slot (this is directly above the arrow shown on the smoke alarm face). Insert a flat-bladed screw driver horizontally into the removal slot by approximately 1cm. This will release the fire alarm lock and enable you to push the alarm away from you which will disconnect the alarm from the base plate. This should now expose the battery connected to the alarm enabling you to change the battery.
