6. Fire Safety Advice
When using household protective devices, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including those listed below
• Please read all instructions.
• Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows what to do
in case the alarm sounds.
• Use the Alarm Test Button to familiarise your family with the Alarm sound and
to practice fire drills regularly with all family members. Draw up a floor plan that
will show each member at least 2 escape routes from each room in the house.
Children tend to hide when they
don‟t know what to do. Teach children how
to escape, open windows, and use roll up fire ladders and stools without adult
help. Make sure they know what to do if the alarm goes off.
• Constant exposure to high or freezing temperatures, high humidity or a high
level of nuisance alarms may reduce the life of the battery.
• Nuisance alarms can be quickly silenced by fanning vigorously with a
newspaper or similar to remove the smoke or press the test / hush button.
• Do not attempt to remove, recharge or burn the battery, as it may explode.
• If it is necessary to remove the battery for separate disposal, handle
carefully to avoid possible eye damage or skin irritation if battery has leaked
or corroded.
• To maintain sensitivity to smoke/heat, do not paint or cover the Alarm in any
manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease.
