Emergency Evacuation

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour
backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended
by the National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so
that they can be heard by all occupants.
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of
escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the
building. The other should be an alternative escape, such as a
window, should your path to that door be unpassable. Station an
escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the
ground.
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs
and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for
each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post
copies of the escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This
will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.
If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the
door if smoke or heat rushes in.
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk
upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is
near the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
8. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities
and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that
nobody returns to the house — many die going back.
