How do you clear a "tampered" message on a Smoke/CO listener?

smoke-co-listener

I installed the Smoke/CO listeners to my system per the intructions. The instructions indicated that when you put the Smoke/CO listeners through the test mode, that you deactivate (remove the battery from the Smoke/CO listener) any other Smoke/CO listeners you may have installed. I did that, but now can't seem to get the other Smoke/CO listeners back online. Their status simply shows up as "tampered" and I can't figure out how to reset or clear them and get them back "online."

I had this same issue. If you open the listener you'll see a little flapper which is how it can tell it's been tampered. Tap that down with the lid off to trigger a tamper, then put the lid back on immediately after it's done flashing red, and voila, it no longer sits in tampered state. I think this issue has something to do with leaving the lid off for too long (which is what you need to do while installing other listeners to not trigger a false alarm).
