manual abstract
• Get out of the dwelling as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything. • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door—use an alternate escape route. • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably wet). Take short, shallow breaths. • Keep doors and windows closed, unless you need to escape through them. • Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everyone got out safely. • Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name. • Never go back inside a burning building for any reason. Contact your Fire Department for more ideas on making your home safer, and on creating your own family escape plan. IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM NEEDS SERVICE Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Smoke Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, remove the battery from Smoke Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press and hold the test button for 5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit. If this unit is not working properly, there are a few simple things you should check before returning or replacing the unit. • Make sure it is clean as described in ”Regular Maintenance.” A build-up of dirt, dust or grease can affect the units performance. • Make sure the unit is installed in a proper location. If you experience frequent unwanted alarms, try relocating it. See “Where To Install Smoke Alarms” for details. • Make sure it is receiving AC power from the household current. Check that the back-up battery is fresh and still providing back-up protection.
