IF THIS SMOKE ALARM GOES INTO ALARM

WARNING!

•If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous sit- uation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.

•Never remove the batteries from a battery operated smoke alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing the batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

Responding To An Alarm

During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.

If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately. Stay calm and follow your family escape plan. Stay as low to the ground as possible, and cover your mouth with a damp cloth. Never open a door before testing to see if it is hot. Call the Fire Department from outside, and give them your address, then name. Read “What To Do In Case Of Fire” for more information.

If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire—cooking smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and fan the smoke away from the unit. This will silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset automatically.

IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

IMPORTANT!

Smoke alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or weak batteries, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the smoke alarm cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the smoke alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,” and install a fresh battery, then test the smoke alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the problem persists, replace the smoke alarm immediately.
