WARNING: DISCHARGING THE ALARM BATTERY IS PERMANENT

• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, it cannot be reactivated!

• Once discharged, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT SMOKE OR CO.

• Once the alarm battery is discharged, the battery is depleted and the alarm will no longer function.

• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, the alarm cannot be mounted onto the mounting plate or reactivated.

To Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery:

• Rotate the alarm counterclockwise to remove it from the mounting

plate.

• Disconnect AC wiring harness.

• Push in the dashed area with a screwdriver to break tab (Figure 13-A).

• After the tab is broken, use the screwdriver to turn the red slotted

arrow to the "Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery" loca-

tion. This will disable the alarm, stop the low battery or end of unit

life “chirps” and render the alarm safe for disposal by draining the

battery (Figure 13-B).
