General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for 
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically 
located smoke and heat detectors will sound their alarms and 
automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, 
interrupted pulsed sound* from the Keypad(s) and any external 
sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and remain on 
until you silence the alarm (see below for silencing fire alarms).  
*
 Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows: 
 3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause. . . , repeated.

Silencing  
Fire Alarms and 
Clearing Memory 
of Alarm 1.  You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF
 key (the 
security code is not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the 
display, enter your code and press the OFF
 key again (to clear 
Memory of Alarm). 
2.  If the Keypads FIRE display does not clear after the second OFF 
sequence, smoke detectors may still be responding to smoke or heat 
producing objects in their vicinity. Investigate, and should this be 
the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 
3.  If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the 
detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds. 
When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by 
entering your code and pressing the OFF
 key.  
 
Smoke Detector 
Reset Depending on the type of smoke detectors in your system, it may be 
necessary to reset the smoke detectors after a fire alarm has been 
turned off. Check with your installer. This reset is accomplished at a 
keypad, as follows:   
Enter User Code*, then press the [1
] key (* except “arm only” user).

Manually 
Initiating 
a Fire Alarm 1.  Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your smoke or 
heat detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and 
manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned for 
FIRE emergency for 2 seconds. If a key pair has been assigned for 
fire, press both keys at the same time. See the 
Using the Panic Keys 
section below for further details. 
2.  Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 
3.  If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify 
your local Fire Department immediately. 
4.  If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the 
alarm. The zone number(s) of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will 
be displayed at the keypad.

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we 
subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection 
Associations National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) noted below. 
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire 
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A 
smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the 
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the 
family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and 
unfinished attics.  
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors 
in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, 
furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

 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 
may be a window, should your path be impassable. 
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; dont panic. 
8.  Establish a common meeting 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

AVIS: l’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme aux normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
 Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l’enterprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée da raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. Les réparations de matériel nomologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur da débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement. Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’energie électrique, de lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales. Avertissement : L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir racours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.  AVIS : L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d’une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.
