Installation Procedure
1. Select a location complying with the advice in Section 2.
2. Lift off the mounting plate from the Smoke Alarm and
discard the cardboard insert.
3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly where you
want to mount the Alarm. Mark the location of the two
screw holes.
4. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling, drill
holes using a 3/16” drill bit through the center of the marked
locations. Push the plastic screw anchors provided into the
drilled holes. Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling.
If using RF Modules, then all Alarms should be mounted with
antennas in the same orientation. This means picking a part
of the building, say the front wall of the building and then
installing all mounting plates in the same orientation with
respect to this (see Figure 5).

5. Power on the Alarm per the Quick Start Guide – carefully
place your thumb over the battery(ies) and remove the pull
tab to activate the power. If there are no battery(ies) in
place, only fit the designated battery type/model and ensure
the orientation is correct.
6. Carefully line up the Alarm on to the mounting plate, gently
press to the base and twist clockwise (see Figure 6).
Install all the other Alarms similarly.
