tion of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into 
place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment).

7. Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator 

should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

TAMPER RESIST FEATURE: To make your smoke alarm tamper 

resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the 
tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square 
holes in the trim ring (see figure 6). When the posts are broken 
off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the 
mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the trim ring until you 
hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on 
the trim ring. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter chil-
dren and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. NOTE: 
To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press 
down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the 
trim ring (see figure 7).

After installation, TEST your alarm by pressing and holding the test 
button for several seconds. This should sound the alarm.
