This is what it is look, when I opened the box. I took out the battery and turn the battary around and put it back by following the instruction of “+” and “-” signs. Then close it.
Look at the base and remove the locking pins from it.
Turn over the alarm and look at the back. plug one pin through the black dot on the label to lock the battery compartment. See A on picture below
B is used to to lock the alarm on the base. So make sure the base is installed on the wall or ceiling. Then insert one pin into the hole at B. Then mount it on the base.
Normally any Smoke and Fire Alarm on the market should have Ten years warranty. So this alarm should be replaced by 2024.
