For added protection, install additional CO detect-
ors in every separate bedroom and on every level of
your home. If your bedroom hallway is longer than
14 meters (40 feet), install a CO detector at BOTH
ends of the hallway. Install an additional detector 6
meters (20 feet) away from the furnace or fuel
burning heat source.
For maximum protection, the detector should also
be located outside primary sleeping areas or at each
level of your home. Mount the detector on a firm
wall or ceiling.

Tamper Protection
The WS4933 includes a tamper resistant feature
that prevents removal from the mounting base
without the use of a tool. To engage the tamper res-
istant feature, cut the small plastic tab located on
the mounting bracket and then install the detector.
To remove the detector from the base once it has
been made tamper resistant, use an appropriate
screwdriver to depress the square tamper release
tab located on the skirt of the mounting bracket and
turn the detector counterclockwise.
