Important Safeguards
When using household protective devices, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including those listed below.
•
Familiarise yourself with the RFP system operation.
•
Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone in the premises knows
what to do in case the alarm sounds.
•
Do not disconnect wires to stop alarm sounding. (Fanning vigorously with a
newspaper or similar will remove nuisance smoke from the Smoke Alarm
and stop it sounding).
•
To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover smoke alarm in any
manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease.
•
If unit has been damaged in any way or does not function properly, do not
attempt a repair, return the Alarm to the nearest Brooks office.
•
Smoke/Heat Alarms are intended for premises having a residential type
environment.
•
Smoke / Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance, the manufacturer is
not your insurer

Planning Your Escape
Use the Smoke / Heat Alarm test button or the key switch on the inner door to
familiarize occupants with the alarm sound and to practice fire drills regularly with all
family members. Draw up a floor plan that will show each resident at least 2 escape
routes from each room. 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.
