Operating and Installation Instructions

Step 2: Mounting Instructions

CAUTION: YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM IS SEALED AND

THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!

1. To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has

been affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace

by” date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent

marker on the label. See Alarm Replacement section for

additional information.

2. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the

alarm by holding the mounting bracket and twisting the

alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF”arrow on

the alarm cover.

3. Selecting the proper location for your Smoke/CO Alarm,

as described on Pages 8-11. To ensure aesthetic align-

ment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line

on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hall-

way when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall

mounted.

4. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate the

alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover

until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting func-

tion allows for aesthetic alignment). Note: The alarm will

mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

Two labels are included with your alarm. They have impor-

tant information on what to do in case of an alarm. Add

the phone number of your emergency service provider

(Fire Department or 911) in the space provided. Place one

label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one label

near a fresh air source such as a door or win

dow.

6. Pull the Battery Pull Tab (yellow tab protruding from unit)

completely out of unit. This will automatically connect

the battery.

Step 3: Testing the Alarm

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the

alarm, always stand an arms length away from the

unit when testing.

The test/reset button has four purposes. It tests the unit’s
