NOTE: Before activating the battery carrier tamper resist feature,
make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that the battery
carrier is properly closed. If the battery carrier tamper resist feature
is activated while the battery carrier is open, the battery carrier will
not close and the unit will be inoperable during the loss of AC
power.
To deactivate the battery carrier tamper resist, in order to change
the smoke alarm battery, remove the unit from the trim plate (see
Smoke Alarm Tamper 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
towards the bottom of the product label. The battery carrier can
now be opened and the battery changed.
