Alarm Tamper Resist Feature
To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a
tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the
alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts
in the square holes in the mounting plate (Image 6A).
Rotate the alarm onto the mounting plate until you hear
the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm.
Using the tamper resist feature will deter children and
others from removing the alarm. To remove the alarm,
press on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of
the mounting plate (Image 6B).

Battery Tamper Resist Feature
This alarm has a battery tamper resist feature, which
prevents the battery door from being opened. This feature
is effective in preventing the removal of the battery from
this device (which will render the unit inoperable during
the loss of AC power).
To activate the battery tamper resist feature, remove the
unit from the mounting plate, disconnect the AC Quick-
Connector and locate the small cut-out in the middle of
the product label on the back of the unit. With a small
screwdriver, or similar tool, slide the switch towards the
direction indicated by the arrows (Image 7). The tamper
resist feature is now active and the battery door can not
be opened until the tamper resist feature is deactivated.
NOTE: Before activating the battery tamper resist feature,
make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that
the battery door is properly closed. If the battery tamper
resist feature is activated while the battery door is open,
the battery door will not close and the unit will be
inoperable during the loss of AC power.
To deactivate the battery tamper resist, in order to change
the battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate (see
AlarmTamper Resist Feature if activated), disconnect the
AC Quick-Connector and locate the small cut-out in the
middle of the product label. Using a screwdriver or
similar tool, slide the switch in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION
OF THE ARROWS. The battery door can now be opened.
