TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To make your smoke alarm tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided with your alarm. Using this pin will help deter children and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the alarm after the alarm has been installed on the trim ring (see figure 8). - Page 9 This alarm has a low battery HUSH feature.
