To install the FIRST ALERT 1039860 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with 10-Year Battery, follow these steps:

1. Choose the location: Install the alarm on every level of your home, including the basement, and in every bedroom or sleeping area. It is recommended to install the alarm on the ceiling or high on a wall, as smoke and carbon monoxide rise.

2. Prepare the mounting bracket: Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the alarm by twisting it counterclockwise. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling or wall in the desired location and mark the xxxx holes with a pencil.

3. Install the mounting bracket: Use screws and anchors appropriate for your wall or ceiling type to secure the mounting bracket in place. Make sure the bracket is securely attached.

4. Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket: Align the slots on the back of the alarm with the tabs on the mounting bracket. Twist the alarm clockwise until it locks into place.

5. Test the alarm: Once installed, test the alarm to ensure it is functioning properly. Press and hold the test button on the front of the alarm for a few seconds until the alarm sounds. If the alarm does not sound, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps.

Please note that this is a general guide, and it is important to refer to the specific instructions provided in the FIRST ALERT 1039860 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with 10-Year Battery User Guide for detailed installation instructions and any additional safety precautions.
