Kidde Smoke Detector

No. This model features a sealed 10-year battery designed to last for the entire life of the device, so you never have to worry about battery changes or low-battery chirps.

When the sensor detects smoke, the unit emits a clear, spoken warning that identifies the specific danger. This helps provide immediate clarity compared to traditional, non-specific alarm tones.

This unit uses photoelectric sensor technology, which is specifically designed to be less sensitive to small, non-hazardous particles like those produced by normal cooking. This significantly reduces the frequency of nuisance alarms.

You can use the built-in hush button to temporarily silence nuisance alarms. This is particularly useful if the alarm was triggered by cooking smoke or steam.

The device includes an end-of-life warning feature. It will alert you when the 10-year lifespan is nearing its conclusion, ensuring you know exactly when it is time to install a new unit.

No, this is a standalone unit. It does not support interconnection with other smoke detectors, meaning it will only sound an alarm from its own location.
