Tamper Resist Features
This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which helps prevent someone from removing the unit

are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting brack-

others from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the alarm when the
tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off
the bracket (see Figure 7B).
