HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

For quick installation instructions see the “Quick and Easy Guide to Programming Your ONELINK® Alarm and Using the Optional Features”.

  • 1. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the vertical mounting slot is aligned in the 12 o’clock position and trace around the inside of the mounting slots (vertical and horizontal mounting).
  • 2. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.
  • 3. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.
  • 4. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.
  • 5. Line the mounting bracket up over the plastic screw anchors.
  • 6. Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall through the mounting slots using the two screws provided.
  • 7. Attach the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. Line up the guides on the alarm’s base with the guides on the mounting bracket. When guides are lined up, turn the base clockwise (right) until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Once the Alarm is snapped onto the mounting bracket, you can rotate the Alarm to adjust the alignment.

  • 8. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. See “Weekly Testing” for details.

IMPORTANT : This combination Smoke/CO Alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device. You must install this device on the ceiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where To Install This Alarm” before starting.

IMPORTANT : If you want to lock the battery compartment, or lock the Smoke/CO Alarm to the mounting bracket, please read the “Optional Locking Features” section in the “Quick and Easy Guide to Programming Your ONELINK® Alarm and Using the Optional Features” attachment before you begin installation.

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.
