Once you have decided the best place to install the CO alarm(s), follow these steps:

1.From back of CO alarm, slide mounting plate and lift from base. See Figure 1.

2.For Model COQ6 only: Connect new 9-volt battery to battery connector inside compartment and slide door closed snap- ping it into place. New 9V battery comes from the factory installed backwards inside the battery compartment. Replace battery with Eveready 216, 522, 1222 or equivalent from your local retailer.

3. Align mounting plate with junction box mounting holes.	FIGURE 1
