USING THE TAMPER RESIST LOCKING MECHANISM
To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a "locking pin" has been provided in the base of the
unit. It will help deter a child or other individual from removing the smoke alarm from the bracket. See
Figure 7. The following directions can install this.
1. Remove the break- away locking pin
from the unit by rocking pin back and
forth.
2. Put the smoke alarm back on the
mounting bracket. (See section "HOW TO
INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARM.")
3. Using long-nose pliers grab the head of the locking pin and insert into hole located on the side of the
smoke alarm. See Figure 8.
4. The Tamper Resist feature is now installed and complete.
To Remove:
5. Using long-nose pliers grasp the head of the locking pin and pull the pin completely out of the smoke
alarm.
6. The smoke alarm can now be removed from the mounting bracket with a counterclockwise twist.

•
BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models B, C, E and PB): The indicator light under the Push-to Test
button blinks about once per minute to indicate the smoke alarm is receiving power.
