Operation
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).
To activate the battery tamper resist feature, remove the
unit from the mounting plate 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 4).
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.
To deactivate the battery tamper resist, in order to change
the battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate 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.
