•In insect-infested areas.

•Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

•Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.

•Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.

•Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!

CAUTION: WHEN WALL MOUNTING: UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED SO THAT THE BATTERY BOX FACES DOWN! (SEE FIGURE 4). INCORRECT ORIENTATION OF WALL MOUNTED SMOKE ALARMS WILL DECREASE OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS.

1.Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate and twisting in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

2.After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in section 1, attach the mounting plate as shown in figure 5. Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit

for anchor holes). To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the

mounting bracket should be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.

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 aesthetic 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).
