MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Kidde Smoke Sounder is equipped with a removable power-supply that allows for the
unit to be wall mounted, plugged directly into an electrical outlet or placed on a table top.
• The Smoke Sounder is shipped ready to use in most homes as a direct plug unit.
Complete the setup and plug into an outlet using the recommended locations stated in
Sections 1 and 2.
• For outlets that are installed horizontally (sideways), remove the back cover and pull the
power-supply out while moving the latch to the side. Rotate the plug and insert it back
into the unit (see Figure 4). Replace the back cover and plug the unit into an outlet using
the recommendations in Sections 1 and 2.
• The Smoke Sounder can be mounted on the wall using the included screw and anchor kit.
Remove the back cover and the power-supply. Unwind the cord and route it through the
cord path near the bottom of the unit. Mount the back cover using the recommendations
in Sections 1 and 2. To install on plasterboard or dry wall, drill a 3/16” hole, insert the
plastic anchor provided and install the screw so that the head is 1/8” from the wall. Hang
the unit from the back cover and plug in the power-supply.(see Figure 5).
• To use the Smoke Sounder on a tabletop or shelf, remove the back cover and the power-
supply. Unwind the cord and route it through the cord path near the bottom of the unit.
Replace the back cover and plug the power-supply in an outlet near one of the recom-
mended locations (see Figure 6).
