USING THE TAMPER RESIST LOCKING MECHANISM
To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a "locking pin" has been provided in the base of the unit. It
will help deter a child or other individual from removing the smoke alarm from the bracket. See Figure 7. The
following directions can install this.
1. Remove the breakaway locking pin
from the unit by rocking pin back and
forth.
2. Put the smoke alarm back on the
mounting bracket. (See section "HOW
TO
INSTALL YOUR SMOKE
ALARM.")
3. Using long-nose pliers grab the head of the locking pin and insert into hole located on the side of the smoke
alarm. See Figure 8.
4. The Tamper Resist feature is now installed and complete.
To Remove:
5. Using long-nose pliers grasp the head of the locking pin and pull the pin completely out of the smoke alarm.
6. The smoke alarm can now be removed from the mounting bracket with a counterclockwise twist.
SPECIAL SMOKE ALARM FEATURES
If your smoke alarm has one or more of these special features, read the following:

BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models B, C, E and PB): The indicator light under the Push-to Test button
blinks about once per minute to indicate the smoke alarm is receiving power.
! WARNING: Very thick smoke may obscure the light.
LP GAS DETECTOR
In the kitchen area of your unit, approximately six inches above the floor, is the LP gas detector. LP gas is a mixture
of gases produced and sold commercially as a fuel for heating and cooking appliances. LP gas is highly flammable
and, as a result, can be explosive if ignited under certain circumstances. LP gas is heavier than air and, if confined in
a closed space, will accumulate close to the floor. When the LP gas concentration in your unit exceeds 2000 PPM
the detector will provide a visual and audible alarm by sounding a buzzer and flashing the red LED two times per
second.
WARNING
Activation of this detector indicates the presence of LP gas, which can cause an explosion and/or fire. This normally
indicates a leak in the LP gas installation or a LP gas appliance. Extinguish all open flames, open your windows and
door and evacuate the unit immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch. Turn off the LP at your gas bottle(s).
DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR UNIT UNTIL A QUALIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN HAS CORRECTED THE
PROBLEM.
OPERATION
Your LP gas detector is wired directly to your vehicle battery and incorporates a 1-amp in-line fuse. When the
device is operating normally the green LED will be lit.
