To Unlock The Battery Compartment
(Models 4120B and 4120SB Only)
Once the Smoke Alarm is installed, you must
disconnect it from the AC power before unlocking
the battery compartment.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power
to the area where the Smoke Alarm is installed
before removing it from the mounting bracket.
Failure to turn off the power first may result in
serious electrical shock, injury or death.
Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing
an AC or AC/DC Smoke Alarm. First, turn off the AC
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next,
remove the battery from Smoke Alarms with battery
back-up. Finally, press and hold the test button for
5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.

bracket. If the unit is locked to the bracket, see
the section “To Unlock the Mounting Bracket.”

it away from the back of the Smoke Alarm.
3. Insert a flathead screw-
driver under the head of
the locking pin, and gen-
tly pry it out of the bat-
tery compartment lock.
(If you plan to relock the
battery compartment,
save the locking pin.)
