This video was the only one that showed me what to do with the red little spring-loaded strip. Once I got that properly positioned I could very easily put the alarm back into proper position. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

0:30 Most informative part of the video for me right here. Showed me the location of the manufacture date of a Duracell battery. Tried to replace the battery only to get a constant high-pitched squealing from the alarm. Realized after this video that I was trying to install a battery manufactured in 2016, swapped it for a 2020 and boom! No more squeaking, fully operational.

I'm a senior and have always been handy. these are the worst to change with one hand, I tried to twist it like shown in the video, and it doesn't work and the writing is the same as the unit, so forget trying to read it for it's facing the opposite way. A poor design, and i'm not paying someone 50 dollars or more to change the battery. I'm close to ripping it off the fking ceiling

Got it off fine, pried open the battery componenet, did the red lever now I can't--for the life of me get it to screw back on--it is half attached--I can't see the arrows---it works ---just is half screwed on---and for now that will do---some coloured dots to show where to line up would help---I might try to do that tonight---off to work--- but at least home has a working detector! Next time I will buy one where the battery is on the front, so I don't have to unscrew anything!!! I hope you will consider that on your next design--bad enough being a senior --let enough having to get on a ladder and mess with this convoluted design! Pop a button, pop out battery DONE----
