The locking features are designed to discourage unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm. It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-family
households where unauthorized battery or alarm removal is not a concern.
These Heat Alarms have two separate locking features: one to lock the battery compartment, and the other to lock the Heat Alarm
tothe mounting bracket. You can choose to use either feature independently, or use them both.
Tools you will need:•Needle-nose pliers or utility knife • Standard Flathead screwdriver.
Both locking features use locking pins, which are molded into the mounting bracket. Using needle nose pliers or a utility knife, remove one or
both pins from the mounting bracket, depending on how many locking features you want to use.
Topermanently remove either lock insert a flathead screwdriver between the locking pin and the lock, and pry the pin out of the lock.
