Repair:
Caution: Do not attempt to repair the alarm. It will affect
your warranty.
If the alarm is not operating properly, and is still under
warranty, return it to the original place you buy. Pack it in a
well-padded carton, and ship to the original place you buy.
If the alarm is no longer under warranty, have a licensed
electrician replace it immediately with a comparable alarm.
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF
ESCAPE
•
Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the
home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how
to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
•
Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at
least two escape routes from each room. Second story
windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
•
Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
•
Determine a place outside your home where you all can
meet if a fire occurs.
•
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm
and train them to leave your home when they hear it.
•
Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire
drill sat night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm
and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in order to
execute the escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to
test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to
reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
•
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken
all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of
individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
Troubleshooting:
DO NOT disconnect battery to quiet an unwanted alarm. This
will remove your protection. Fan the air or open a window to
remove smoke or dust.
