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.
