Experts recommend you do this each fall when we change our clocks to end of Daylight Saving Time. Install a new battery immediately if an alarm \u201cchirps\u201d to indicate a low battery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A ten-year lithium battery smoke alarm does not need to have its battery changed. Replace smoke alarms that use extended-life, lithium batteries when the alarm \u201cchirps\u201d or fails to respond to periodic testing. The batteries in these units cannot be replaced.<\/p>\n<p><b>False Alarms<\/b><br \/>\nUse the hush button to silence a false alarm. Never disconnect or remove the battery. If your smoke alarm does not have a hush button use a magazine or kitchen towel to wave fresh air into the detection unit<\/p>\n<p><b>Replace<br \/>\n<\/b>Replace your smoke alarm every ten years. After ten years, your smoke detector will have been working consecutively for 87,000 hours. No other appliance in your home works this long. If you do not know how old your smoke alarm is, or if it is ten years or older, replace it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, To view the Daily Incident Reports, please\u00a0Click Here &nbsp; Public Safety Tip of the Day: \u00a0Smoke Alarms Test When was the last time you heard your smoke alarm?
