2. Installation
Mounting
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
•
Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by
holding the plate and twisting the alarm in the direction
indicated by the "OFF" arrow on the alarm cover.
•
To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hall-way, or
wall, the "A" line on the mounting plate should 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).
•
For aesthetic reasons, the suggested position for wall mounting
is with the button facing down (Image 3C).
•
NOTE: This alarm is battery powered and will not function
without the use of one of the recommenced batteries. The
battery must be in good working condition and installed
properly.
•
Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery
compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).
Alarm Tamper Resist Feature
•
To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a locking pin has been
provided in the bag with the screws and anchors. Using this pin will help
deter children and others from removing the alarm from the mounting
plate. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the alarm after
the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate (Image 3F).
NOTE: The tamper-resistant pin will have to be removed in order to
change the battery. Use long nose pliers to pull the pin out of the hole. It
is now possible to remove the alarm from the mounting plate.
