THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT A GOOD BATTERY PROPERLY INSTALLED.
THE SMOKE ALARM SHOULD BE TESTED WHEN INSTALLED AND THEN TESTED WEEKLY
AFTER THAT.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all
rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping
area (in the vicinity of, but outside of, the bedrooms); and, as appropriate, heat or smoke alarms in
living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility storage rooms,
basements and attached garages. Test the alarms weekly to assure proper operation.
CAUTION: THIS SMOKE ALARM IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
• A mounting bracket is provided on the back of the alarm.
• Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting bracket and twisting
the alarm.
OPTIONAL TAMPER RESISTANT FEATURE: There is a separate tamper resistant locking feature provided
for this model. Activating this feature deters someone from removing the smoke alarm from the mounting
bracket. The breakaway locking pin is clearly marked and molded into the mounting bracket. Refer to the
diagram.
TO ACTIVATE THE LOCKING FEATURE: Do not activate the locking feature until you have activated the
battery, mounted the smoke alarm to the bracket and tested the smoke alarm. Refer to OPERATION,
TESTING & MAINTENANCE instructions on Page 6.
1. Detach the breakaway alarm locking pin from the mounting bracket.
2. Insert the pin into the hole for the tamper resistant feature. Refer to the diagram below for correct
placement.
TO DEACTIVATE THE LOCKING FEATURE: To remove the smoke alarm for cleaning or servicing or to
replace the battery, you must first remove the locking pin, if it has been installed.
1. Use long nose pliers to pull the locking pin out of the hole.
2. It is now possible to remove the smoke alarm or replace the battery.
• in areas of turbulent air such as air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, smoke alarms shall not
be located where airflow prevents smoke from reaching the alarms.
