place.
6. USING TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To make your smoke
alarm tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided in the
bag with the screws and anchors. Using this pin will help deter
children and others from removing the alarm from the mounting
plate. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the
alarm after the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate
(see figure 8).
NOTE: THE TAMPER RESIST PIN

REMOVE THE ALARM FROM THE
MOUNTING PLATE.

down the test button for at least 5 seconds. This should sound
