Alarm Tamper-Resist Feature
• To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a tamper
resist means has been provided. To activate this
feature you must break out the tamper-resist blocks on
the mounting plate (Image 4A). Use a small
screwdriver.
• Using this feature will help deter children and others from
removing the alarm from the mounting plate. With the
blocks removed, the tamper-resist feature will be
activated when the alarm is installed on the mounting
plate.
• The tamper-resist tab will have to be released in order
to change the battery. Using a tool (small screwdriver)
push the tab away from the mounting plate (Image 4B)
and rotate the alarm in the “OFF” direction.
• After installation, test the alarm by depressing and
holding down the Test button for several seconds. This
should sound the alarm.
