Installation
• Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery
compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).
CAUTION: If the battery reminder tab is not held down in the battery
compartment by the battery, the unit will not attach to the mounting plate.
• Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the
mounting plate and the alarm. After installing the
mounting plate, place the alarm onto the mounting plate,
making sure the alignment marks are lined up. Twist the
alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on
the alarm cover (Image 3D) until it locks in place.
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.
