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.
