Section 7: Fire Safety
Read this section carefully. It contains important information about fire safety.
Household 
Fire Safety 
AuditMost fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a 
household fire safety audit be done and a fire escape plan be created.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed 
cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition 
of your electrical appliances or household service, have...

24
 A good plan emphasizes a 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.

Section 8: Guidelines for
Locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes gen-
erate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments 
with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable 
quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in 
most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be 
installed outside of each sleeping area and on each sto-
rey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only 
and it is recommended that local fire codes...

Section 9: Replacing Batteries
From time to time, the batteries in the detectors and other components on your 
system will need to be changed. If a device has a low battery, your system will 
announce a “Device Low Battery” trouble message (see Checking Trouble Con-
ditions on page 19).
When the batteries in one device need to be replaced, it is suggested that the bat-
teries in all system devices be replaced at the same time. The batteries used in the 
devices are Eveready Alkaline Energizer or...
