Fire And Emergency Protection; In The Event Of A Fire Alarm - 2gig Technologies EDGE Quick Start Manual

Fire and Emergency Protection

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors may be installed to protect the occupants of the dwelling from harmful, and possibly deadly effects of smoke, heat,
and fire-related dangers. The system's fire and emergency protection features are always protecting the premises. See Warnings,
NOTE: A professional installer must ensure that all Smoke/Heat alarms and CO detectors are installed in compliance with all national, regional,
and local laws, statutes, and guidelines .

In the Event of a Fire Alarm

In the event an installed fire protection zone detects an issue, the following will occur:
1 . The alarm siren immediately sounds and continues to sound until a User Code is entered or for the amount of time specified by the Fire Bell Cutoff Time
setting. The factory default setting is four (4) minutes. Consult the installer to determine the cutoff time that has been configured for the system.
2 . After the report is received by the Central Station, an operator will respond per the terms defined in the individual Service Agreement with the 2GIG alarm
dealer. For more in-depth information about specific alarm protocols, contact the alarm dealer.
If a fire alarm is activated, the system emits a warning siren and immediately reports a fire to the Central Station. To protect all occupants, do the following:
1 . If flames or smoke are present, yell "Fire!" to alert all occupants of a fire.
2 . Immediately evacuate all occupants from the premises and remain at a safe distance away from the premises .
DANGER: To protect all users from serious injury and/or death, do NOT re-enter the premises until it has been deemed safe by
emergency officials.
3 . Dial 9-1-1 (or the region's emergency services number) to report the situation to authorities . Always wait to call from a safe location .
NOTE: It is important to establish and practice an Escape Plan with all members of the household in the event of a fire. For more in-
depth information, see the EDGE User Guide .
