10 Year Worry-Free Hardwired Smoke Detector with Voice Alarm and Ambient Light Ring

A:  Hello. It won't. The battery is just an emergency backup for the alarm and the alarm needs to be kept in a location that stays between 40 and 100 degrees. You may need to get alarms with replaceable batteries and take the alarms down and take them with you when you leave the house for months at a time.

A:  Hello. Try using the flashlight feature of your cellphone or an actual flashlight straight onto the face of the alarm for a full 120 seconds. If the alarm is getting AC power, the green ring should come on solid. If it doesn't then that is an indication that the alarm is just running on battery only and not getting AC power and you will want to make sure the alarm is plugged and that none of the wires have come out of the plug or the wire caps in the electrical box. If you still are not getting a solid green ring, have this alarm trade places with another alarm that is getting a solid green ring and see if the problem follows the alarm or the location. If every alarm plugged into this location refuses to get a solid green ring even with a flashlight held up to it for 2 minutes then there is a wiring issue in this location. If this alarm won't get a solid green ring where another alarm will, even when a flashlight is held up to it, then it is an issue with the alarm and you will want to call us at 1-800-880-6788 with the alarm in hand. If none of the alarms on the circuit get a solid green ring even with a flashlight held up to them then there is an issue with the AC power on the circuit and you will want to check to make sure the circuit breaker is on and get an electrician to check the wiring of the circuit.

A:  Hello. It has a Green LED ring that is on constantly when the alarm is getting AC power and in a brightly lit area or the green LED ring will blink every 60 seconds if it is just running on battery and will only blink on one small part of the ring every 60 second if it is in a dimly lit or dark area. If the alarm goes off and sets off the other alarms, the green LED will flash every second. However, it is not a bright exit/hallway light nor a strobe light rated for the hearing impaired.

A:  I bought a smoke detector instead of the smoke detector & CO detector so I'm not aware of hiding model numbers.

A:  Hello. 21027537 is Home Depot's part number they use when they order the alarms from us. Some distributors use part numbers and some distributors use model numbers. If you have the part number, you can go to the Kidde website and under search put the part number and the model will show up.

A:  I think they just want to distinguish smoke detectors sold at Home Depot and other places?
