HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM
THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!
Tools you will need:
• Pencil • Drill with 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit
• Hammer • Standard Flathead screwdriver
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the Smoke Alarm base. Hold
the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) and make a mark
at the center of each of the mounting slots with a pencil.
2. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the
mounting holes.
3. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through each pencil mark.
4. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into
the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if neces-
sary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.
5. Tighten the screws (provided) into the screw anchors.
6. Activate the battery. With the battery
compartment open, install the battery
so the terminals on the battery match
the terminals on the Smoke Alarm.
Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push
the battery in until it snaps in securely
and cannot be shaken loose.
If the battery is not snapped in completely, the unit cannot receive
battery power. The Smoke Alarm may beep briefly when you install
the battery—this is normal.
7.
Position the base of the Smoke Alarm over the mounting bracket
and turn. The Alarm can be positioned over the bracket every 60°.
Turn the Smoke Alarm clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.
8. Test the Smoke Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”
