What To Do
In Case Of Fire
• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your escape
plan. Your safe escape may depend on thinking
clearly and remembering what you have prac-
ticed.
• Get out of the dwelling as quickly as possible.
Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.
• Feel doors with the back of your hand before
opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is
cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door—
use an alternate escape route.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (pref-
erably wet). Take short, shallow breaths.
• Keep doors and windows closed, unless you
need to escape through them.
• Meet at your planned meeting place outside
your home, and do a head count to make sure
everyone got out safely.
• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible
from outside. Give your address, then your
name.
• Never go back inside a burning building for any
reason.
Contact your Fire Department for more ideas on
making your home safer, and on creating your own
family escape plan.
If Your Smoke Alarm
Needs Service
CAUTION!
Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing
an AC or AC/DC smoke alarm. First, turn off the AC
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next,
remove the battery from smoke alarms with battery
back-up. Finally, press and hold the test button for 5-
10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.
If this unit is not working properly, there are a few
simple things you should check before returning or
replacing the unit.
• Make sure it is clean as described in ”Regular
Maintenance.” A build-up of dirt, dust or
grease can affect the units performance.
• Make sure the unit is installed in a proper loca-
tion. If you experience frequent unwanted
alarms, try relocating it. See “Where To Install
Smoke Alarms” for details.
• Make sure it is receiving AC power from the
household current. Check that the back-up
battery is fresh and still providing back-up
protection.
If the unit is still not operating properly, and it is
still under warranty, send it, shipping prepaid to:
BRK Brands, Inc., Attn: Consumer Affairs, 3920
Enterprise Court, Aurora, IL 60504-8132. Enclose a
note in the package describing what’s wrong with
the unit. See warranty information at the end of this
manual.
CAUTION!
Do not try to fix the unit yourself—this will void your
warranty!
