• To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a tamper resist
feature has been provided. To activate this feature you must
break out the tamper-resist posts on the mounting plate
(Figure 4A).Use a small screwdriver.

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.

remove alarm from mounting plate. Using a tool (small
screwdriver) push the tab away from the mounting plate
(Figure 4B) and rotate the alarm anti-clockwise in the “OFF”
direction.

the Test button for several seconds. This should sound the alarm.
