10. PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE FOR
WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF
1. Check room doors for heat or
smoke. Do not open a hot door.
Use an alternate escape route.
Close doors behind you as you
leave.
2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out,
staying close to floor. Take short
breaths, if possible, through a
wet cloth or hold your breath.
More people die from smoke
inhalation than from flames.
3. Get out as fast as you can.
Do not stop for packing. Have a
prearranged meeting place out-
side for all family members.
Check everybody is there.
4. Call the Fire Brigade from a
neighbour s house. Remember
to give your name and address.
5. NEVER re-enter a burning
house.
11. GETTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM SERVICED
If your Smoke Alarm fails to work after you have read the sec-
tions on Installing your Smoke Alarms , Testing and
Maintaining your Smoke Alarm and Troubleshooting your
Smoke Alarms , then contact Customer Assistance at the
nearest address given at the end of this leaflet. If it needs to
be returned for repair or replacement put it in a padded box
with the battery disconnected (Ei405 only). The Ei405TY must
be removed from the mounting plate and the switches on the
base of the unit moved to the off position — see figure 10.
Send it to Customer Assistance and Information at the near-
est address given on the Smoke Alarm or in this leaflet. State
the nature of the fault, where the Smoke Alarm was pur-
chased and the date of purchase.
