3. Remove the cover by pushing the releasing tab on the bottom of the detector toward the center, and
then twisting and pulling the cover.

into the pry locations, and then gently prying the chamber up. Refer to Figure 19 for pry location points
5. Insert the replacement smoke chamber.
6. Align the slots on the cover with the tabs on the detector and press to seat and lock the cover.
