on the wall. Be sure the “A” line is horizontal. Use the screws
and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16”
drill bit for anchor holes).
4. Battery installation instructions are provided on the inside of the
battery door.
To ensure proper installation of the smoke alarm battery, follow
the instructions.
5. When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger
down into the battery compartment and install the battery (see
figure 5).
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD
DOWN IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY,
THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND THE UNIT WILL

6. Install the alarm on the trim ring and rotate the alarm in the
direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets
into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment).
TAMPER RESIST FEATURE: To make your smoke alarm tamper
resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the
tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square
holes in the trim ring (see figure 6). When the posts are broken
off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the
mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the trim ring until you
hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on
the trim ring. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter chil-
dren and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. NOTE:
To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press
down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the
trim ring (see figure 6).
After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down
the test button for at least 5 seconds. This should sound the alarm.
