Smoke Alarm Tamper Resist Feature
This alarm is equipped with a tamper resist feature that helps prevent someone from removing the unit
from the mounting bracket. When activated, it can be very effective in preventing smoke alarm removal or
tampering. Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking out both small posts in the square
hole in the mounting bracket (see Figure 8-C). When the post is broken off, the tamper resist 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 help
deter children and others from removing the alarm from the bracket.
