- Unscrew the Sonalert retaining ring from the front of the faceplate. Push out the old Sonalert.
- Unscrew the two screws holding the Sonalert to the circuit board (watch for proper connection/polarity). Remove the Sonalert from the circuit board.
- Insert the new Sonalert through the faceplate and fasten the retaining ring until finger tight. Ensure the Sonalert is positioned as shown in the photos below.
- Use the two screws to connect the wires from the circuit board (and light if you have the older style – see above) to the new Sonalert. Make sure the wires are connected to the correct terminals (+ve and -ve) on the Sonalert.
- Reconnect the tape to the circuit board. Press down on the white terminals on the circuit board and insert the tape leads. Release the terminals and the leads should be secured.
