BATTERY INSTALLATION
See MAINTENANCE (Section 6) for battery installation.

TERY IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
1. Remove the trim ring from the back of the alarm by holding the trim ring and
twisting the alarm counter-clockwise.
2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1 and
wiring the AC Quick Connector as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS,
attach the trim ring to the electrical box (see Figure 6). To ensure aesthetic align-
ment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the mounting
bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal
when wall mounted.
3. Pull the AC QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the mounting
bracket and secure the bracket, making sure that the mounting screws are posi-
tioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening the screws.
4. Plug the AC QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of
the alarm (see Figure 7), making sure that the locks
on the connector snap into place. Then push the
excess wire back into the electrical box through the
hole in the center of the mounting bracket.
5. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and
rotate the alarm clockwise until the alarm ratchets
into place (this ratcheting function allows for aes-
thetic alignment).
When
mounting in
a hallway,
the “A” line
should be
parallel with
the hallway.
When wall mounting,
the “A” line should be
horizontal.
