• Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and outside of sleeping areas.

• Test every detector at least once a month. [See your instruction book for the location of the test button.]

• Keep smoke detectors dust free. Replace batteries with new ones at least once a year, or sooner if the detector makes a chirping sound.

• If you have a smoke detector directly wired into your electrical system, be sure that the little signal light is blinking periodically. This tells you that the alarm is active.

• Inexpensive smoke detectors are available for the hearing impaired.

• Change the batteries in your smoke detector ever six months. A good way to remember this is to change the batteries at daylight savings time.
