Operating/Installation Instructions

Activate the tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the trim ring (see Figure A). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on the mounting bracket. Using the tamper resist feature will deter children and others from removing the alarm from bracket. NOTE: To remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off the bracket (see Figure B).

Testing the Alarm

The test button has three purposes. It tests the unit’s electronics, resets the alarm and activates the peak level memory (See page 15).

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