bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees). NOTE: Installing the

alarm on the mounting bracket will automatically activate the

battery backup.

7. Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator

should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power.

8. 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.
