Ron,
Since the quotation was from my posting, I'll answer the question.
First, in most cases these days, merely opening up the housing of the
detector is likely to void the warranty. (Replacing the battery usually
does not require opening up the entire unit.) Next, keep in mind that this
is both a heat and smoke detector. There must be airflow for the smoke and
the IR sensor must be able to see the surrounding area to detect actual
fire (flame).

ahh, I learneth something today.
I hate it when my ignorance side shows up. (never assume)
Also didn't know it was heat detector too. Now the temperature sensor
allows possibilities RF could come into play.
Darn these fangled gadgets causing hams grief!
