Write the replace-by date on the label. The date written on the label should be seven (7) years after the date the unit is initially powered up.

To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounting, or horizontal when wall mounting. Drill a hole through the pencil marks and use the enclosed screws and anchors to secure (use 5mm drill bit for anchor holes). Align the Smoke/CO Alarm with the mounting plate and rotate clockwise (right) until the unit is aligned.

When mounting in the hallway, the "A" line should be parallel with the hallway.
