Mounting
CAUTION: This unit is sealed (including the battery). The cover is not
removable!
• After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as
described previously, attach the mounting plate to the
ceiling (Image 3B).
• To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the
hallway, or wall, the "A" line on the mounting plate
must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling
mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A).
• Secure the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling with
the anchors and screws provided (Image 3B). Use a
3/16" drill bit for anchors.
• For aesthetic reasons, the suggested position for wall
mounting is as shown in Image 3C.
NOTE: This alarm has a battery permanently sealed inside the alarm. No
battery installation is necessary.
Activation
This model is equipped with a feature that automatically
activates the alarm when the alarm is attached to the
mounting plate for the first time. Once activated, the battery
will supply power to the alarm for the life of the alarm (10
years). Be sure that the mounting plate is installed correctly
before attaching the alarm to it.
• Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the
alarm in the direction of the "ON" arrow on the cover
until the alarm ratchets into place (Image 3D). This
ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment. Note:
The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in 4 positions
(every 90 degrees). The alarm is now activated!
