TaMPER RESiST FEaTURE
This alarm is equipped with a tamper resist feature that helps prevent someone from
removing the unit from the mounting bracket. When activated, it can be very effective in
preventing smoke alarm removal or tampering.
Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square
holes in the mounting bracket (see Figure 8- D). When the posts are broken off, the tamper
resist on the base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the
mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on
the mounting bracket. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others
from removing the alarm from the bracket.
NOTE:
To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the
tamper resist tab and rotate the alarm counterclockwise (see Figures 8-E and 8-C).
