CAUTION!  BE SURE THE ALIGNMENT MARKS ON THE 29HIJ
ALARM AND MOUNTING PLATE ARE LINED UP (SEE FIGURE 7)
WHEN INSTALLING THE ALARM ON THE MOUNTING PLATE.
THIS ALARM WILL ONLY ATTACH IN ONE ORIENTATION.

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by hold-

ing the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction
indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

2. To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or

wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be parallel with
the hallway when ceiling mounting or horizontal when wall
mounting.

3. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in

section 1, attach the mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in
figure 4.  For wall mounting see figure 5.  Place mounting plate
on the wall.  Be sure the “UP FOR WALL MOUNTING “ text and
arrow are facing up.  Use the screws and anchors provided to
secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for anchor holes).  

4. When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger

down into the battery compartment and install the battery (see
figure 6).

CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD
DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY,
THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.

5. Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate

and the alarm. After installing the mounting plate, place the
alarm on the mounting plate with the alignment marks lined up.
Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on
the alarm cover (see figure 7) until it locks in place.

6. TAMPER RESIST FEATURE:

ACTIVATING THE TAMPER RESIST FEATURE

To make your smoke alarm tamper
resistant, a tamper resist means has
been provided. To activate this feature
you must break out the tamper resist
blocks.  Use a small screwdriver to
break out these blocks on the alarm
(See figure 8).

Note: 29HIJ has only one tamper resist
block.
