What to do when the Alarm Sounds
• Alert small children in the home.
• Leave immediately by your plan of escape. 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
alternative 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.
• Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if
possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
• Call the Fire Brigade from your neighbour's home - not from yours!
• Don't return to your home until officials say that it is safe to do so. For further
information on fire safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
Installer Please Note
• Before you connect the mains power, check wiring polarity.
• Please check battery is correctly connected and fully charged over 8.0 Volts.
• If the alarm 'chirps' again, press the Test button to check the battery condition.
• If 'chirps' persist, replace smoke alarm and return to your supplier for replacement.
