Tamper Resist Features
To make your alarm tamper resistant, two tamper resist features have been provided. The first is used to discour-
age removal of the alarm while the second is for the battery.
Smoke alarm Tamper Resist
To activate the mounting bracket tamper resist feature break off the four posts in the square holes in the trim
ring (see figure 9-D). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab 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 mounting bracket.
NOTE:
To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and
rotate the alarm off of the bracket (see Figure 9-E).
Battery Carrier Tamper Resist
This alarm also has a battery carrier tamper resist feature, which helps prevent the battery carrier from being
opened. This feature is effective in preventing the removal of the battery from this device.
