FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!
If you want to lock the battery drawer, or lock the Smoke Alarm
to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking
Features” section before you begin installation.
1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise
to separate it from the base.
2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the
vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and
trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and
horizontal mounting).
3. Put the unit where it won’t get covere
d with dust when you drill the
mounting holes.
4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the
oval outlines you traced.
5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws)
into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if
necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.
6. Line the mounting bracket up
over the plastic screw anchors.
7. Screw the mounting bracket to
the ceiling or wall through the
mounting slots using the two
screws p
rovided.
8. Attach the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the
guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting
bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right)
until it snaps into place.
NOTE: Once the Smoke Alarm is snapped onto the mounting
bracket, you can rotate the Smoke Alarm to adjust the align-
ment.
9. Test the Smoke Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”
