pPlease remember to change the batteries in your smoke and CO detectors this weekend when you change your clocks.nbsp It isnbsprecommended that the batteries be changed both spring and fall when changing the time on your clocks unless you have a newer detector that has a 10 year battery.nbsp When changing your battery you should also check the date of manufacture on the detector.nbsp Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years or as recommended by the manufacturer.nbsp This is the maximum life and some do fail earlier.nbspFor more information on placement and care visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission page at a hrefhttpwww.cpsc.govPageFiles118947557.pdf fcksavedurlhttpwww.cpsc.govPageFiles118947557.pdfhttpwww.cpsc.govPageFiles118947557.pdfanbspppCOnbspdetectors and combination detectorsnbspsmoke and co do have a shorter life span.nbsp The replacement recommendations vary from 5 to 7 years and you should check the manufacturesnbspliterature or website.nbspnbspp
