It comes with one 9-volt battery. Protect your Family from Home Fires Every year, 70 percent of all home fire deaths occur in homes with no alarms or no working alarms, while nearly one quarter of smoke alarms in reported fires are not working. Installing an alarm like the i9070 is an affordable, easy way to help protect your family from the devastating results of a fire. Alarms give you more time to make an escape, especially if you're asleep when the fire starts. Ideally, they should be installed on every level of your home and outside all bedrooms. The i9070 is specially designed to help warn families of the dangers of smoke and fire hazards while providing a range of user-friendly features that make it easy to keep a maintained smoke alarm with working battery. Ionization Sensor Technology For reliable performance and early detection, the i9070 features an ionization sensor. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Simple and Convenient Battery Changes with Front-Load Door The i9070 has an easy-to-operate, front-load battery door that allows you to change the battery without having to remove the smoke alarm from the mounting bracket. This unique design will also not close if the battery is installed incorrectly, so you know with each and every change that the batteries are where they should be. For added convenience, a locking feature located on the back of the alarm lets you lock the battery door--a great option if theft or tampering is a concern. Finally, a hush feature lets you silence nuisance alarms--ideal for alarms installed in the kitchen.
