Fire and Emergency Protection
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors may be installed to protect the occupants of the dwelling from harmful, and possibly deadly eects of smoke, heat,
and re-related dangers. The system’s re and emergency protection features are always protecting the premises. See Warnings, page 34.
NOTE: A professional installer must ensure that all Smoke/Heat alarms and CO detectors are installed in compliance with all national, regional,
and local laws, statutes, and guidelines.
In the Event of a Fire Alarm
In the event an installed re protection zone detects an issue, the following will occur:
1. The alarm siren immediately sounds and continues to sound until a User Code is entered or for the amount of time specied by the Fire Bell Cuto Time
setting. The factory default setting is four (4) minutes. Consult your installer to determine the cuto time that has been congured for your system.
2. After the report is received by the Central Station, an operator will respond per the terms dened in your individual Service Agreement with your 2GIG
alarm dealer. For more in-depth information about specic alarm protocols, contact your alarm dealer.
If a re alarm is activated, the system emits a warning siren and immediately reports a re to the Central Station. To protect yourself and occupants do the
following:
1. If ames or smoke are present, yell “Fire!” to alert all occupants of a re.
2. Immediately evacuate all occupants from the premises and remain at a safe distance away from the premises.
DANGER: To protect yourself and others from serious injury and/or death, do NOT reenter the premises until it has been deemed safe
by emergency ocials.
3. Dial 9-1-1 (or your region’s emergency services number) to report the situation to authorities. Always wait to call from a safe location.
NOTE: It is important to establish and practice an Escape Plan with all members of your household in the event of a re. For more in-
depth information, see the Edge User Guide.
