Change your clocks for fall or spring; change you smoke alarm batteries!.
All smoke alarms should be tested at least once a month to make sure
they operate properly. If a smoke alarm is battery operated, replace the batteries at least once a year to make sure the alarm
will work when it is needed. It’s a good practice to make replacement of batteries a seasonal routine, such as when
resetting clocks in the fall or spring. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for testing smoke alarms and replacing
the batteries.
.
If your battery-powered smoke alarm
begins to emit a low-power warning, usually a chirping sound, replace the battery immediately with a fresh one. This will
ensure that your smoke alarm will continue to provide protection.
