ACTIVATING THE ALARM
This model is equipped with a feature that automatically
activates the alarm when the alarm is mounted to the
mounting bracket for the first time. Once activated, the
battery will supply power to the alarm for the life of the
alarm (10 years). Be sure that the mounting bracket is
mounted correctly before installing the alarm on the mount-
ing bracket.
1.To activate the alarm, install the alarm on the mounting bracket
(figure 6) and rotate the alarm clockwise (as indicated on the
alarm cover) until the alarm ratchets into place (the ratcheting
function allows for aesthetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will
mount to the bracket in four (4) positions (every 90 degrees).
The alarm is now activated!
2.After installation/activation, test your alarm by depressing and
holding down the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds (or
until the alarm sounds). This should sound the alarm. CAU-
TION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
always stand an arms length away from the unit when
testing.
