TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:

This unit is designed to be mounted

on the ceiling, or on the wall if necessary.

•Pencil

•Drill with 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit

•Standard flathead screwdriver

•Hammer

•Pliers or utility knife, to activate optional “tamper-resistant” locking features

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!

If you want to lock the battery drawer, or lock the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking Features” section before you begin installation.

1.Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise to separate it from the base.

2.Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).

3.Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4.Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5.Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6.Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall.

7.Install the battery (included). Open the battery drawer. Match the terminals on the end of the battery with the terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the battery in until it snaps in securely and cannot be shaken loose. If the battery is not snapped in completely, the unit cannot receive battery power.

Or, activate the battery back-up by removing the “Pull to Activate Battery Back-Up” tab.

NOTE: After you install the battery, the power indicator light may flash. (If the unit alarms, the light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.)

8.Attach the Smoke Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right) until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Once the Smoke Alarm is snapped onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate the Smoke Alarm to adjust the align- ment.

9.Test the Smoke Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”
