8. Installation And Activation
NOTE: One of the following steps must be taken to ensure activation:
A. Locate the red wheel on the back of the unit - turn the red wheel to 
the “ON” position using the included white activation tool or a  
standard screwdriver. Battery will remain active to allow for  
installation on mounting bracket.
B. Orient the unit with LED pointing to the right as shown in Figure 8-B,  
and rotate the unit a full 90 degrees clockwise onto the mounting  
bracket. To allow for installation, battery will remain active when unit  
is removed from mounting bracket.
NOTE:  The battery activation is a one-time feature that occurs when  
the alarm is rotated fully onto the mounting bracket.  Upon initial  
power being applied, a voice “Push Test Button” will be heard. After  
activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can only be  
discharged at the end of product life. If the alarm is removed from  
the mounting bracket, the battery will remain active.  
See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section.
After selecting the proper location for your alarm, attach the mounting  
bracket to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm  
with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket should be  
parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted.
 • Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction. 
The alarm is now activated! After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing section.
 WARNING:  FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT
