H-9470
NOTE: This smoke detector was designed to
be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a
tabletop device.
CAUTION! Do not connect this unit to any other
detector or auxiliary device. It is a single-
station unit that cannot be linked to other
devices. Connecting anything else to this unit
may prevent it from working properly.
CAUTION! Do not install this unit over an
electrical junction box. Air currents around
junction boxes can prevent smoke from
reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the
unit from alarming. Only AC-powered units are
intended for installation over junction boxes.
Place the bracket on the wall or ceiling where
detector will be mounted.
1. If locking the smoke detector to the mounting
bracket, please read the "Locking Feature
(Optional)" section.
2. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket
counterclockwise to separate it from the unit.
3. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling
(or wall) so the two clusters of universal mounting
slots are aligned approximately at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions. (See Figure 1) Choose one
of the three sets of slots shown, A, B or C, and trace
around one of the sets with a pencil. Be sure to
choose a top and bottom slot on opposite sides to
rotate the universal mounting bracket into position
later. This will make it easier in the future to remove
the mounting bracket without completely removing
the screws.

holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer,
if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or
wall.

10. After 10 years of operation or low battery warning,
deactivate the smoke detector. Insert a tool below
edge and break tab. Slide activation switch to
deactivate mode.
IMPORTANT! At end of life or low battery
indication (chirp), unit must be put into
deactivation mode to deactivate remaining
stored energy in battery. Unit will resist
remounting.
LOCKING FEATURE (OPTIONAL)
1. The optional locking feature is designed to prevent
unauthorized removal of the detector. It is not
necessary to activate the lock in single-family
households where unauthorized detector removal is
not a concern.
2. The feature uses a locking pin, which is molded into
the mounting bracket. Remove locking pin by using
needle-nose pliers or a utility knife.
IMPORTANT! To permanently remove the
locking pin, insert a flathead screwdriver
between the locking pin and the lock and pry
the pin out of the lock.
LOCKING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
1. Using needle-nose pliers, detach the locking pin
from the mounting bracket. (See Figure 4)
