CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!

1.Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

2.To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounting or horizontal when wall mounting.

3.After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in section 1, attach the mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in figure 5 and figure 5A. For wall mounting see figure 6 and figure 6A. Place mounting plate on the wall as described in the mounting illustrations. 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 7 and figure 7A for the i9080 alarm).

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 NOT ATTACH TO THE MOUNT- ING BRACKET. NOTE: THE I9030 AND I9040 DO NOT HAVE A BATTERY DOOR.

When wall mounting, mount flat side to the wall and rotate mount- ing plate approximately 5º to the right as shown.

6.Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate and the alarm. After installing the mounting plate, place the alarm on the mounting plate with the alignment marks lined up. Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on the alarm cover (see figure 8) until it locks in place.

7.USING TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN (all models except i9040 and i9040RV): 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 mount- ing 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 9).

NOTE: THE TAMPER RESIST PIN WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES. USE LONG NOSE PLIERS TO PULL THE PIN OUT OF THE HOLE. IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE ALARM FROM THE MOUNTING PLATE.

8.After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding down the test button for at least 5 seconds. This should sound the alarm.

Its photoelectric sensing technology offers enhanced detection of smoldering fires, minimizing false alarms caused by cooking fumes.

The I9050 model continues this trend, featuring both ionization and photoelectric sensing technologies for comprehensive smoke detection. This dual-sensor capability allows it to respond quickly to a wider range of fire types, making it a versatile option for different environments. The I9040RV, tailored specifically for RV and mobile living spaces, maintains reliability while being lightweight and easy to install. It features a battery-operated design that is suitable for the unique electrical requirements of recreational vehicles.

The PI9000 model introduces another important safety feature: a voice alarm system that provides clear alerts to occupants, distinguishing between smoke and carbon monoxide, if combined with Kidde carbon monoxide alarms. This feature increases the effectiveness of emergency responses, as occupants can quickly identify the nature of the threat.

All these alarms come equipped with battery status indicators to ensure operational readiness, and their sleek, compact designs allow for easy installation and integration into any decor. Kidde smoke alarms are also built with tamper-resistant features, preventing unauthorized removal, ensuring that these essential safety devices remain in place.

With a focus on user-friendly designs, enhanced detection technologies, and comprehensive safety features, Kidde smoke alarms stand out as reliable choices for anyone looking to protect their home or workplace from unpredictable fire hazards.
