The optional locking features are designed to pre-
vent unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm.
It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-
family households where unauthorized battery or
alarm removal is not a concern.
These CO Alarms have two separate locking features:
one locks the battery compartment, and the other
locks the CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. You can
choose to use either feature independently, or use
them both.
Tools you will need: Needle-nose pliers
Standard/Flathead screwdriver.
Both locking features use locking pins, molded into
the mounting bracket. Using needle nose pliers or a
utility knife, remove one or both pins, depending on
which locking features you use.
