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. Since many fires occur at night,

special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.

3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.

Consider the following when making your escape plans:

• Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted

shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.

• If opening 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.

• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for

i.e.: across the street or at a neighbour's house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire

Department.

• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not

gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house.

Wait for the fire department.

• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,

everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people

in the home, or if there are changes to the building's construction.

• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests (see "Fire Alarm

Operation" on page ??). If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.

• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire

safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house

fire safety inspection.

Maintenance

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed.

1. Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should

remove normal accumulations of dust.

2. The battery/ bell test is designed to determine battery condition. We recommended, however, that the

stand-by batteries 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.
