Is the date on the back of the smoke alarm the start date or the end date?

I'm pretty certain it's the self destruct date. Be sure it's roughly 50 feet away from any living thing (plant life not included) when that day comes.

The date on the back is the date the unit was manufactured, and the ten-year warranty starts from the date of purchase.

If you read the insert it tells you how to set it for automatic time or just when you push green button. No date option that I could tell.

I'm not exactly sure where to find it but where I think it is located is in between a CL symbol. Mine said 09/14. Hope this helps!

I never got an accurate time. Good luck! I am using mine as a deterrent for bad behavior and theft.

it has a battery that runs the meter. it could possibly be dead after that date. i doubt it tho, most dates are very conservative in the manufacturers favor.

I saw this alarm on a news program as the most reliable smoke detector available. I gave one to each of my kids, they've never had to be used so I cannot answer your question, I am very sorry.

there is a rotate off base that mounts on an electrical box. The base is very similar to other smoke alarms and there is an electrical connector with about six inch pigtails.

Sorry. I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that I was up at 4:30 am AGAIN, standing on a chair, trying to reach the unit that was up by the ceiling, then trying to remove the battery and read the teeny, tiny print. The whole design is so bad. WHY not put the batteries in at eye level with some sort of connector up to ceiling where the sensor is.When I get a new home I am going to figure out a better smoke alarm system.

my batteries had a " best by" date on the side of each of the batteries. The date was 4+ years from the date of purchase. as I use 10 at a time to replace smoke alarm batteries this was an adequate shelf life for me.

The units I received were dated 5/2013. I received them 7/2013. The vendor guaranteed that they would be fresh units and they were. The ones they replaced were close to 10 years old. The smoke component was still active, but the CO wasn't. The CO function can wear out any time after seven years.

sorry the 2 I purchased, either have no date that I can see or the date is covered by 2 stickers on the rt. lower 1/4 of the back of the pkg.

If it is on the battery, I am unable to see a logical date. Some batteries that I have purchased had the date on the package. I have disposed of the package for this battery. Lou

The latest date I have is 5/31/15, however I am currently using the code key from that box to finish up a box of strips from 3/31/14.

I did not note the date. I bought 2. I used one for at least 1 year without issue. Opened the other 1 year later and it worked without an issue.
