To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the

Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery
compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).

battery compartment by the battery, the battery door will not

Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the
mounting plate and the alarm. After installing the
mounting plate, place the alarm onto the mounting plate,
making sure the alignment marks are lined up. Twist the
alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on
the alarm cover (Image 3D) until it locks in place.
