Operation
Alarm Tamper Resist Feature
To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting plate (Image 6A). Rotate the alarm onto the mounting plate until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm.
Using the tamper resist feature will deter children and others from removing the alarm. To remove the alarm, press on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the mounting plate (Image 6B).
