) until silenced or reset. If the zone
is a Standard Fire Zone, your system can immediately send an alert to your monitoring station.
The CMS will try to contact you. If they cannot reach you for any reason, for example they get a busy signal, the
procedure is to dispatch the proper authorities.
To disarm a false alarm:
1. Enter your
[

1. Press the
[

button within 30 seconds of the alarm.

3. If the problem remains after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again. Press
[
CLEAR
]
again.
4. The system will delay reporting the alert for another 30 seconds.

13.3 Fire Safety Tips
How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business?
• Remind everyone to escape first, and then call for help.
• Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.
• Practice the escape plan frequently.
• Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible.
• Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed.
• Instruct everyone
never
to stand up during a fire, always crawl under the smoke and keep mouths covered.
• Instruct everyone
never
to return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost them their life.
• Check smoke alarms regularly. Working smoke alarms dramatically increase everyone's chances of surviving a
fire.
