How to Change the Battery of a Kidde Ionization Smoke Alarm 1275
Kidde produces the 1275 smoke alarm, an ionization smoke detector that uses a small and harmless amount of a radioactive element to detect traces of smoke. Kidde created the 1275 model to be used as a single standalone detector or wired as part of the series using an interconnected system. The model also contains a tamper-resistant frame. The detector is powered by a 120-volt AC adapter and contains a 9-volt backup battery that can be replaced as necessary. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
