TESTING
(Continued)
6. If zone 4 is set as a Fire zone, activation will cause the signal to sound in a pulsed
mode. CAUTION: Do not use open flame or burning materials to test a
smoke detector. Contact your installer for information on safe methods to
activate a smoke detector.
7. Should your system fail to operate properly, call your installer for service.
8. When testing is complete, call and advise the monitoring station.
MAINTENANCE
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following should
be observed:
1. Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is
recommended that the stand-by battery be replaced every three years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic
or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective
manufacturer's literature for testing and maintenance.
FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME
Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that a
household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
HOUSEHOLD FIRE SAFETY AUDIT
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed
cords, over-loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition
of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in
good working order? Have a professional evaluation.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly.
It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and
rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes
from sleeping quarters.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING
(Continued)
3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the
interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened.
Ensure that they are are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms
operate smoothly.
• If opening the exit or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or
handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making
sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire
warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be
provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from
exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block
exits.
• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbour's house.
• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to
fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings or pets as this takes up
valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire
department.
• Write the plan down and rehearse frequently, so that should an emergency
arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change; for example, when there are more or fewer family members in the
home, or if there are changes to the house.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests
as noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system operation,
contact your installing dealer.
• It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and request
further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have
your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
