3.Make sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before tightening the screws.

4.Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the alarm in the direction indicated by the "ON" arrow on the cover until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aes- thetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). When wall mounting, make sure the battery box is at the bottom of the unit. (see Figure 5)

5.Be sure the battery is installed correctly and the battery compartment is closed completely. See section 6 for battery installation instructions.

CAUTION: THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT WILL NOT CLOSE WITHOUT A BATTERY INSTALLED PROPERLY. REMOVAL OF THE BATTERY WILL RENDER THE ALARM INOPERA- TIVE.

6. Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test Button for a minimun of 5 seconds.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.

Tamper Resist Feature

Battery Carrier Tamper Resist Feature

This alarm has a battery carrier tamper resist feature, which helps prevent the battery carrier from being opened. This feature helps prevent the removal of the battery from this device (which will render the device inoperative).

To activate the battery carrier tamper resist feature, remove the unit from the trim plate and locate the small cut-out in the middle of the product label on the back of

the unit. With a small screwdriver, or similar tool, slide the switch towards the top of the label. (see Figure 6). The tamper resist feature is now active and the battery carrier can not be opened until the tamper resist feature is deactivated.

NOTE: Before activating the battery carrier tamper resist feature, make sure a fresh battery is installed in the unit and that the battery carrier is properly closed. If the battery carrier tamper resist feature is activated while the battery carrier is open, the battery carrier will not close and the unit will be inoperable.

To deactivate the battery carrier tamper resist, in order to change the smoke alarm battery, remove the unit from the mounting plate, and

locate the small cut-out in the middle of the product label. Using a screwdriver, or similar tool, slide the switch towards the bottom of the product label. The battery carrier can now be opened and the battery changed.

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

Hush® CONTROL: The Hush®feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 7 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the Hush®button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately and “chirp” every 30-40 seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 7 minutes and sound the
