The optional locking features are designed to prevent 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 Smoke Alarms have two separate locking features: one to lock the battery compartment, and the other to lock the
Smoke 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, which are molded into the mounting bracket. Depending on which locking features you
use, remove one or both pins from the mounting bracket using needle-nose pliers.
To permanently remove either locking pin, insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock, and pry
the pin out of the lock.

1. Remove the Smoke Alarm from the
mounting bracket. If the unit is locked to
the bracket, see the section “To Unlock
the Mounting Bracket.”
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver under the
head of the locking pin, and gently pry
it out of the battery compartment lock.
(If you plan to relock the battery
compartment, save the locking pin.)
3. To relock the battery compartment,
close the battery door and reinsert
locking pin in lock.
4. Reattach the Smoke Alarm to the
mounting bracket.
When replacing the batteries, always test
the Smoke Alarm before relocking the
battery compartment.
