Tamper Resist Features

This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which helps prevent someone from removing the unit from the mounting bracket. Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting bracket (see Figure 7A). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting brack- et. Rotate the alarm onto the mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off the bracket (see Figure 7B).
