3.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
1). Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting
plate and twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the "REMOVE" arrow see
Figure 6.
2). To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, the "A" line on the
mounting plate should be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounting.
3). After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1, attach the
mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in Figure 4. Use the screws and anchors
provided to secure the mounting plate.
4). When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger down into the battery
compartment and install the battery (see Figure 5).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD DOWN IN THE
BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY, THE UNIT WILL NOT ATTACH
TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
5). Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate and the alarm. After
installing the mounting plate, place the alarm on the mounting plate with the
alignment marks lined up. Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the "ON"
arrow on the alarm cover (see Figure 6) until it locks in place.
6). Tamper Resist Feature: To make your smoke alarm tamper resistant, a tamper resist
feature has been provided. Activate the tamper resist feature by breaking out the
block in the trim ring (see Figure 7). When the blocks are broken out, the tamper
resist tab 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 to deter
children and others from removing the alarm from bracket. NOTE: To remove the
alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab
with a screwdriver, and rotate the alarm off of the bracket (see Figure 8).
CAUTION! EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION IS BEST ACHIEVED BY THE
