OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURES
The locking feature is designed to discourage unauthorized removal of the Alarm. It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized
battery or Alarm removal is not a concern.
Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility knife • Standard Flathead screwdriver.
The locking feature uses locking pins, which are molded into the mounting bracket. Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, remove one or both pins from the mounting bracket.
To permanently remove either lock, insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock, and pry the pin out of the lock.

WEEKLY TESTING
•
NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your
home. The built in test switch accurately tests the unit's operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
•
If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately. Products under warranty may be returned to the
manufacturer
for replacement. See "Limited Warranty" at the end of this manual.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When
testing, step away when horn starts sounding. It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly.
Using the test button is the recommended way to test this Smoke Alarm.
Press and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for a few seconds
after you release the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it again. If it still does not alarm, replace
it immediately.
During testing, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. LED flashes once every second.
