1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds
Smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps
repeating. T he 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 getting 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, p lace your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and
smoke rush in.
• If the escap e route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the floor where the air is cleaner.
Crawl if necessary, and breath e shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selec ted meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or f rom your neighbour’s home—not from
yours!
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
There are situations where a smo ke alarm may not be effective to protec t 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 Sec tion 11. RECOGNIZIN G NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

1. Immediately move to fresh air – ou tdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check

window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and
your alarm remains in its normal condition.
2. Call your local emergency service.

6. Limitations of Smoke Alarms
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• Life safet y from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of
the need to escape, followe d by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants.
• Fire warning s ystems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in
potentially fatal fires. Victims are of ten intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escap e even when warned early enough that escape
should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape
or rescue are necessary.
• Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and p hotoelectric smo ke alarms be installed
to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home.
Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire par ticles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may dete ct visible fire particles (associate d
with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
• A batter y powered alarm must have a battery of th e specified typ e, in good condition and installed
properly ( This model has a sealed battery).
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the battery and the alarm circuits are in good
operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms
may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a
different floor.
• If the alar m is located outside th e bedroom or on a dif ferent floor, it may not wake up a s ound sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For ma ximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on ever y level of a home.
This alarm is no t intended to alert he aring impaired in dividuals.
