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, write the "Replace

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

in the space provided on the side of the alarm. 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 alignment of the

alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting

bracket must be parallel with the hallway 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 function allows

for aesthetic alignment). Note: The alarm will mount to the

bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

5. Two labels are included with your alarm. They have important

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 window.

6. Remove the red cardboard from the battery compartment,

install batteries, close battery door.
