Pull the QUICK DRAW

Test the smoke alarm by pushing the TEST button on the smoke alarm cover until the alarm sounds,
then release.
If the smoke alarm is defective in any way, do not tamper with the smoke alarm. Return the smoke
alarm for servicing. (See warranty for instructions or in-warranty returns.) There will be a service
charge for repairing out of warranty smoke alarms.
BASICS OF ESCAPE PLAN
o 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.
o Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
o Determine a place outside your home where all of you can meet if a fire occurs.
o Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave your home when
they hear the sound.
o Identify children's bedrooms with red stickers placed in the upper left corner of the windows. They
are available from your local fire department.
o Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan before an
emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do!
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
o Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting
dressed or picking up valuables.
o 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 inside door is
cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke
rush in.
o Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
o Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
o Call the fire department from your neighbor's home – not from yours!
o Don't return to your home until fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
