HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

IMPORTANT!

This combination smoke/CO alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device. You must install this device on the ceiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where To Install This Alarm” before starting. Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, flathead screwdriver, hammer.

Before you start installation, find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this alarm. On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. Place one label near the Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.

NOTE:

A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

CAUTION!

Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that cannot be linked to other devices.

Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from working properly.

CAUTION!

Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

1.Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it from the unit.

2.Hold the mounting

bracket against the ceiling (or wall) and use a pencil to mark the center of each mounting slot.

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

4.Using a 3/16-inch (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through each pencil mark.

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