Emergency Evacuation

LYNX Touch is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.
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 should be an alternative escape, such as a window, should
your path to that door be unpassable. 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; don't panic.
8. Establish a 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.
