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.
(Figures 8-B and 8-C)
NOTE: If needed, you can knock out the thin
plastic centers of one or both of the knockout
areas to give alternate hole locations for wall
anchors.
• Pull out the battery pull tab first to activate the
batteries (see Figure 8-A). Battery activation
is confirmed with a beep. If the beep does not
occur when the battery pull tab is removed,
remove the batteries and reinstall them. Confirm
the battery activation beep.
NOTE: If either battery compartment is empty,
the alarm cannot mount on the mounting
bracket.
• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket
by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction.
(Figure 8-D)
NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in
2 positions.
• The alarm is now activated! After
installation / activation, test your alarm as
described in Operation and Testing section.
