FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)

General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and/or heat detectors will automatically send signals to your Control/Communicator, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm.

In Case Of Fire 1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem,
