1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

Smoke alarm pat tern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating. The red LED

blinks in time with alarm pattern.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have dif ficulty recognizing the importance of the

alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.

• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time get ting dressed or picking up

valuables.

• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through

cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder

against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the f loor where the air is cleaner. Crawl if neces-

sary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbor’s home-not from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire of ficials say that it is all right to do so.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard

72. For instance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

NOTE: This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO alarm signal (with voice mes-

sage) from an interconnected CO or combination smoke / CO alarm.

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps with voice “Warning! Carbon Monoxide” repeating every 5

seconds. The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATIO N INDIC ATES THE PRESENCE OF C ARBON MON

OXIDE CO AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU.

1 Operate the Test/Hush® button. NOTE: Pressing the button on the initiating alarm unit (green LED flashing every sec-

ond) will silence the alarm notification, including all interconnected units. If the unit goes into alarm mode again within

six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.

2 Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911). EMERGENCY PHONE #: _______________________

3 Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door / window. Do a head count to check that all persons are

accounted for. Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the impor-

tance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help. Do not reenter the premises nor

move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been

aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

4 After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appli-

ance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper

operation of equipment.

If problems are identifie d during this inspection, have the equipm ent serviced immediately. Note any combustion equi pment

not inspected by the technic ian and consult the manufacturer’s instructi ons, or contact the manufacturer directly for m ore

information abo ut CO safety and the equ ipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, or have not b een, operating in a garage

attached or adja cent to the residence. Never restar t the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never i gnore the

sound of the alarm! NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.
