fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.

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.
• Teach all household members to touch the door and use an
alternate exit when the door is hot, instruct them not to
open the door if the door is hot.
• Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.

1. make sure the distance didn't
exceed the wireless distance
2. If the problem still exists. Please
return it to your retailer..
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire
drills at 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.
What to do when the alarm sounds:
1. Alert small children in the home to quickly follow the
family escape plan.
2. Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second
counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or picking up
valuables.
3. 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.
4. Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly
through a cloth, wet if possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make
sure everyone is there.
6. Call the fire department from your neighbor's home -not
from yours!
7. Don't return to your home until the fire officials say that it
is all right to do so.
Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire,
however, to reduce the chance that fires may start, practice
fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.

Recommended Locations for Alarms:

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the
bedrooms. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are
usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping
area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances
