Replacing the Main Panel Battery

  1. Purchase a replacement battery. These are available at Canadian Tire.
  2. Open the metal alarm box by unscrewing the screw along the side or top. This is usually a Robertson #2 screw.
  3. Pull the red and black wires off the existing battery.
  4. Swap the new battery in and reconnect the red and black wires to their respective colour-coded terminals.
    We recommend you write the date of the replacement on the battery.
  5. Close the lid and secure it shut with the Robertson screw.
  6. Wait 5 minutes for the yellow trouble light to clear.
