SimpliSafe 5 Piece Wireless Home Security System User Guide

Installation Instructions

Install your Base Station

The Base Station is the brains and primary siren of your system. It communicates with all of your devices and sends your alarm signals through to our professional monitoring centre if signed up to the Pro or Pro Premium plan.

Place your Base Station in a central location in your house. Don’t install it on the floor.
lug the Base Station into a wall socket using the included power cord.

Make sure the wall socket is not controlled by a light switch which could accidentally cut power to the Base Station.
Your Base Station’s LED light indicates the status of the system. Blue means it’s armed, no light means it’s disarmed.

Install your Keypads

Follow the onscreen instructions for setting your Master PIN.
Adhesive tape has already been installed on the back of the Keypad—just peel and press it firmly to the wall for 30 seconds. If you make a mistake, see “How do I move a device?”.
Adhere the Keypad to the wall by your main entrance. You can take the Keypad with you to name your devices as you install them. After you adhere the Keypad to the wall just slide it up and off its bracket.

Install and Name your Devices with the Keypad

When the Keypad prompts you, remove the battery tab on the device you want to install, then press its Test Button.
Choose from the list of names on the Keypad, and then follow the instructions for installing the device on the following pages.

Install your Motion Sensors

Motion Sensors detect motion within 10 metres. They look straight ahead with a 90° field of view as well as downward at a 45° angle. Mount it in a corner for maximum coverage of your room.

Place the Motion Sensor on a shelf or adhere it to a wall, approximately 1.5 to 2 metres off the ground. Avoid placing the sensor near a heater, air conditioner, lamp, or electronics (such as a wifi router).

Dog Owners: For pets over 2 stone, install button-side down, about 1.2 metres off the ground.
Cat Owners: Place the Motion Sensor so that cats cannot climb near it, button-side up, 2 to 3 metres off the ground.
Motion Sensors are active in Away Mode only by default, but this can be adjusted on your Keypad. Put the system in Home Mode and you can move freely about your home without setting off an alarm.
Adjust the sensitivity of the Motion Sensor using the switch on the back, below the batteries.

Install your Glassbreak Sensors

Glassbreak Sensors are programmed to “listen” for the specifc frequency of glass breaking.

Place the Glassbreak Sensor on a shelf or adhere to a wall less than 6 metres from the windows you’d like to protect.

Adjust the sensitivity of the Glassbreak Sensor using the switch on the back, below the batteries. Reduce the sensitivity if placing it in your kitchen as glasses knocking into each other could trigger a false alarm.
Curtains can dull the sound of glass breaking. If your windows are covered in heavy curtains, place your Glassbreak Sensor within 2-3 metres of your windows.

Install your Entry Sensors

Entry Sensors

Line up the magnet and sensor on the door or window so that the grooves align and the pieces are less than 5 cm apart when the door or window is closed.
Test the alignment before you adhere each piece. The blue light should flash once when the door or window opens and twice when it closes.
Adhere the sensor on the door and the magnet on the door casing, or the other way round. There is no “right side up.”

EXAMPLES:

Install your Panic Buttons

Panic Buttons will trigger an alarm when you hold down the button for 2 full seconds.

Adhere the Panic Button to a wall in your master bedroom or anywhere you want a bit of extra security.

The red LED in the top right corner will flash when your panic signal has been sent.
When you’ve put your system in test mode, the Panic Button itself becomes its test button.

Install your Extra Sirens

Adhere the Siren by pressing and holding it to the wall for 30 seconds to ensure it stays in place. Only use the adhesive tape if installing inside the home.
For permanent installation, push up on the Siren to remove it from its bracket. Then screw the bracket into the wall with the included screws.
For external use, the accompanying screws can be used on
timber but larger screws will be needed for installation on brick. Make sure it’s fixed under an eave or inside a porch.

Install your Siren by the front door to scare away intruders.
Be cautious when testing your 105dB Siren. Prolonged exposure can cause hearing damage.
Use your Keypad menu to configure your Siren’s volume and settings.

Install your Smoke Detectors

Remove mounting bracket from the detector by rotating it counterclockwise.
Install the bracket on the wall or ceiling using the included screws and wall anchors.
Push the Smoke Detector against the mounting bracket and rotate it clockwise until it snaps into place. A solid yellow light means it is not snapped in place.

Place Smoke Detectors near your sleeping areas. For maximum protection, place one on each level of your home.

Do not install near your furnace, stove, fireplace, kitchen, garage, or bathroom with a shower.

This detector is for household use only. There are local laws that apply to Smoke Detectors. Please refer to the information included in the detector box and consult with your local fire brigade regarding any requirements.

Install your CO Detectors

CO Detectors

Separate the mounting bracket from the back of the Carbon Monoxide Detector by rotating it counterclockwise.
Mount the bracket to your wall or ceiling using the included screws and wall anchors.
Push the CO Detector against the mounting bracket and rotate it clockwise until it snaps into place. A solid yellow light means it is not snapped in place.

Typical installation locations: Near bedrooms and on each level of your home.
Do not install near your furnace, stove, fireplace, kitchen or garage.

This detector is for household use only. There are local laws that apply to CO Detectors. Please refer to the information included in the detector box and consult with your local fire brigade regarding any requirements.

Install your Water Sensors

Water Sensors prevent damage from leaks and floods. You can place one in the drip pan of your water heater or washing machine, or near bathroom plumbing to detect any leaks, overflows or broken plumbing.

For the simplest installation, simply place your Water Sensor on the floor.

Some homeowners insurance companies will give you an extra discount for having Water Sensors installed.
Your Water Sensor does not need to be adhered, but if you choose to adhere it using the extra adhesive tabs, make sure not to cover up any of the 6 metal contact points on the bottom of the device.

Install your Temperature Sensors

Adhere the Temperature Sensor on the wall near your home’s main thermostat or near any exposed plumbing that’s vulnerable to burst during a freeze.

You can change the sensor’s temperature thresholds in the device settings in the Keypad menu.

Avoid your boiler room, which may stay warm long after a furnace failure.

Some homeowners insurance companies will give you an extra discount for having Temperature Sensors installed. Contact your insurance agent for details.

Install your SimpliCams

Install your SimpliCams after the rest of your system.

Slide the stand off the camera.
Insert the Micro-USB into the port on the back of the camera. Replace the stand, and plug the cord into a wall socket.
Launch the SimpliSafe app on your smartphone to begin installation.

With a camera recording plan, SimpliCams will capture a recording if it detects motion. If signed up to the Pro Premium monitoring plan, it will also record when an alarm is triggered and if there’s a secret alert.
When your SimpliCam is all set up, the top status light will be blue. A smaller red light beneath the status light is used at night to help illuminate your room.

Activate Alarm Monitoring

In an alarm event, professionally trained operators will contact you. If on the Pro Premium monitoring plan, they will request police or fire service dispatch based on a visually verified incident.

Write your Base Station serial number here (located on the bottom of your Base Station) so you have it handy during activation.
Activate at simplisafe.co.uk/activate.

After you activate your subscription, your system will be in Practice Mode for 72 hours while you get used to using your alarm. The alarm will function normally, but you will not receive police or fire service dispatch. After 72 hours, you will be notified that your Dispatch Service is live.

Set Up WiFi

Your sytem has built in cellular and wifi. The cellular will connect automatically. By setting up wifi, your system will be more secure and update faster.

Press menu on your Keypad, enter your Master PIN, and navigate to “System Settings” then to “WiFi.”

How Monitoring Works

Monitoring Works

What happens when a sensor is triggered when signed up to Pro Premium?

When your alarm is on and one of your sensors is triggered, the Keypad will start beeping and prompt you for your PIN. You have 30 seconds to turn the alarm off— this time is called the Entry Delay and can be customised in the Keypad menu.
If the alarm is not turned off within the 30 second Entry Delay, SimpliSafe will sound a siren for four minutes and send an alert signal to our professional monitoring centre (you must activate your service in your online account for this service to function).
The professional monitoring centre will attempt to call you, then your secondary contacts if unable to reach you.
If it was a false alarm and you provide your previously chosen Safeword, no authorities will be dispatched.
If an incident is visually confirmed, the professional monitoring centre will request police or fire service dispatch.
On Pro Premium, if the monitoring centre can’t reach the primary contacts and an incident can’t be visually verified, then they will dispatch a private guard to your property to secure the premise. This does incur an extra charge if a guard is sent to your home, but if you want to opt out of this call the team on 0800 456 1789.
Your alarm system will automatically re-arm, but the sensor that caused the burglar alarm will be disabled until the alarm system is dis-armed and re-armed again.

Using your System

Put your system into Away Mode

Use this mode when you are leaving. All of your sensors, including Motion Sensors, will be active.

Press “away” on your Key Fob or Keypad.
You have 60 seconds to exit before the alarm is active. To cancel during the exit delay, simply press “off”.

Put your system into Home Mode

Use this mode when you are staying home. By default, all of your sensors will be active, except for Motion Sensors. However, this can be customised using the Keypad. Cameras will have their privacy shutters closed.

Press “home” on your Keypad

Turn your system Off

Use the same method to turn off your alarm, whether it’s in Home or Away Mode.

Press “off” on your Key Fob or press “off” on your Keypad followed by your 4 digit PIN.

If a sensor is triggered, there will be a 30 second Entry Delay before the alarm siren sounds and the Professional Monitoring Centre is notified.

Putting your system into Test Mode

We recommend you test your system regularly and after making any changes.

In “menu” select “Test Mode”
Follow the instructions below and on the Keypad to test your devices. The Base Station will announce the sensor type to confirm that it has received the signal.
Press the left arrow to exit Test Mode.
If you have a professional monitoring plan, you will receive a phone call confirming the test.

Motion Sensors: Press the Test Button on the top of the Motion Sensor. For an accurate test, leave the room for the sensor you are testing then wait 90 seconds. Re enter the room and the Base Station will say “Motion Sensor.”

Glassbreak Sensors: Press Test Button on the top of the sensor then clap your hands loudly near your windows. In Test Mode, the Glassbreak Sensor will be activated by all loud sounds. When the system is armed, the Glassbreak will only react to glass breaking.

Entry Sensors: Open and close protected doors and windows.

Panic Buttons: Hold the Panic Button down for 2 seconds.

Smoke and CO Detectors: Hold the Test Button on the front of the sensor for 4 seconds. The sensor will beep 3-4 times.
Extra Siren, Water and Temperature Sensors: Press the Test Button on the top of each sensor.

Keypad Warnings

SimpliSafe will warn you of potential problems with a flashing red light on the Base Station and/or a displayed on the Keypad. Access these messages by pressing the right edge of your screen. Here are some common warnings:

Entry Sensor Open| SimpliSafe is warning you that you may have left a door or window open. If they are already closed, make sure each Entry Sensor and its magnet are less than 5 cm apart.
---|---
Low Battery| Slide the sensor up and off of the wall (the bracket will remain adhered to the wall) and replace the batteries.
Keypad Out of Range| If you see this message frequently, your Keypad and Base Station may be too far apart for reliable wireless communication. Try moving them closer together.
Sensor Error| A wireless sensor is not responding. Move the sensor and Base Station closer together or replace the sensor’s battery. If the sensor displayed on your Keypad is not one of your sensors or it is not installed, remove that sensor from your system.
Power Outage| Your Base Station will function as usual for up to 24 hours on its rechargeable backup battery. If your home has not lost power, make sure the wall plug is securely inserted into your wall socket and the Base Station.
No Link to Dispatcher| SimpliSafe cannot communicate with the Professional Monitoring Centre, for one of the following reasons:

Your Professional Monitoring Centre is not active. Please check your account on our web or mobile app.
The Base Station is located in an area with poor cellular coverage. Move it near a window for better reception.
Your wifi connection is weak or not yet set up. Wifi can provide a secondary connection to the Professional Monitoring Centre.

Wireless Interference Detected| Make sure the Base Station isn’t next to an electronic device that may cause interference, or relocate it to somewhere else central in the home.

Common Questions

How do I move a device?
To move a device, push up on the front of the device in the direction of the test button—the back will stay on the wall and the white adhesive tape tab will be visible. Pull down (not out) slowly on the tab until the back is removed from the wall.When you are ready to re-adhere the device in a new location, use a fresh piece of adhesive tape (extras have been included).

What if I have a door or window open when I turn on the alarm?
Your SimpliSafe alarm will warn you that a door or window is open when you turn the alarm on. Open doors or windows will not be protected until they are closed. Once they are closed, the Base Station will start monitoring them.

What happens if I accidentally trigger an alarm? How do I avoid false alarms?
Enter your PIN on the Keypad or press “off” on the Key Fob to stop the siren. If you cancel the alarm within a few seconds, the Professional Monitoring Centre will abort the alarm. Otherwise, they will call the numbers you provided to confirm the false alarm. After the operator has verified your identity (please have your Safeword handy), he or she will cancel any alarms. To avoid the most common causes of false alarms:

Do not place Motion Sensors near a heater or air conditioner, or facing an open window. If you have large pets, please refer to the instructions on.
If pets continue to set off false alarms, you can lower the sensitivity on your Motion Sensor. To do so, slide the motion sensor up and off its bracket. On the back, move the switch to the left towards the “L” setting.
Make sure that a rattling window or door does not trigger an Entry Sensor. Each magnet should be as close as possible to the Entry Sensor.

If you’re still having trouble with false alarms, please contact SimpliSafe support.

Can I get a discount on my home insurance?
Some insurance companies will offer you a discount for having a professionally monitored home security system like SimpliSafe, but this is something you would need to discuss with your provider.

How can I test my professional monitoring Service?
After your 72 hour Practice Mode is over, select “Test Mode” in your Keypad menu and follow the prompts. This will cause your Base Station to send a test signal to the professional monitoring centre. A security expert will contact you to let you know the test signal was successfully received.

Will SimpliSafe work in the event of a power outage?
Yes. All of your sensors are battery powered and the Base Station has a built- in rechargeable backup battery that provides power for up to 24 hours during a power outage. Your SimpliCam however will be affected as it needs to be connected to a power source.

How do I add components?
If you need additional components, purchase more online at
SimpliSafe.co.uk/alarm-sensors. Once you’ve received your devices, open the Menu on your keypad and select “Devices”, then “Add device” and follow the instructions.

How do I remove components?

Open the menu on your Keypad and select “Devices”
Find the device you’d like to remove in the list and select it with the right rocker
Scroll to the bottom of the list and select the option “remove” by pressing the right side of the screen
Press “off” to exit the menu

Can I use SimpliSafe without a professional monitoring plan?
Yes, but we don’t recommend it. Without a professional monitoring plan, only the alarm siren will sound and no authorities will be called. The SimpliSafe professional monitoring plan is easy to set up and can be cancelled at any time.

How do I change the batteries?
Voice prompts will warn you when your batteries are low (battery life is approximately 1 year for a Keypad and 5 years for all other sensors). To change batteries, remove the component from the wall as described above. Replace the batteries behind the back panel and slide the component back into place. The Base Station backup battery is rechargeable and does not normally need to be replaced.

What happens if my Key Fob is lost or stolen?
Your Key Fob will work for whoever has it in their possession. If you lose your Key Fob, you should disable it by going into the menu and removing it from your list of devices (you can easily add it back later). If you are concerned about the security of your Key Fob, you can disable its ability to turn the alarm on and off in the device settings. You will still be able to use it as a portable panic button within your home.

System Updates

SimpliSafe may occasionally receive optional system updates to add features and functionality. If your system is connected to wifi and there is an update available, you will see a gear symbol on the left side of your Keypad’s screen. Press the off button to refresh your Keypad’s screen to determine if an update is available. To accept the update, follow the prompts and wait for your Base Station and Keypad to reboot. The update process may take between 10 and 20 minutes, during which your system will be offline. After the update is complete, you will have to select the gear icon on each additional Keypad you own to update them as well.

You will be responsible for the costs of delivery as set out on the SimpliSafe website. We will ship Products without undue delay, subject to any time limits posted on our website at the time of the order.
If our supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.
You have legal rights if we deliver any Products late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;
(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
(c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery, you can cancel your order for any of the Products or reject Products that have been delivered.

The Limited Warranty does not apply if damage was caused by Act of God, natural disaster, labor dispute, war, terrorism, civil strife, or other cause beyond SimpliSafe’s control. Battery replacement is excluded from the Limited Warranty. Products that are tested and found to be in good working condition (not defective) are not covered by this Limited Warranty.
In addition to the Limited Warranty you may return the Product to us at any time within 60 days of your order and receive a full refund (“Goodwill Guarantee”). SimpliSafe will send you a postage prepaid return slip, and you must return the Products to SimpliSafe using such slip. If you are a consumer, the Limited Warranty and Goodwill Guarantee do not affect your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or your general rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed Products (which are described in clause 14).
Responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
If either you or we are in breach of our agreement, you or we shall be liable to the other for foreseeable loss and damage caused by the breach and not for any losses that are not a foreseeable consequence of the breach or for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage and which are not foreseeable by you and us.
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill.
Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process. We are not liable to you for loss that was not foreseeable, was not caused by us or business loss.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
If you use the products for any business, commercial purpose or re-sell any Products we will have no liability to you for any loss howsoever arising (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) that relates to a business, such as any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity, in each case whether that loss is direct, indirect or consequential, and (ii) our total liability to you (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) shall not exceed the total cost of the Products purchased by you.

Your right to end the contract
Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract: (i) if what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the Product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 20; (ii) if you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, (see clause 17(b)); (iii) if you have just changed your mind about the Products, (see clause 17(c)). You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period (see clause 17(f)), but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of the Product; (iv) in all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 17(e). (b) If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (i) to (iv) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are: (i) we have told you about an error in the price of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed (see clause 7); (ii) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; (iii) we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or (iv) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late). (c) If you are a consumer, for most Products bought through a website you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days (unless the Products are split into several deliveries over different days (in this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the Products or your Products are for regular delivery over a set period in this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the Products)) and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, can be exercised in the way set out in clause 17(e). (d) Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind you can still end the contract before it is completed under the Goodwill Guarantee or afterwards, but if you do so after the Goodwill Guarantee has expired you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when we have finished providing the goods and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind after the Goodwill Guarantee has expired, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for Products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. (e) To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
(i) Phone or email. Call customer services on 0800 456 1789 or email us at customer-support@simplisafe.co.uk. Please provide details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.
(ii) Complete the form at https://simplisafe.co.uk on our website.
(iii) Complete the form available online to print off at https://simplisafe.co.uk and post it to us at the address on the form. Or simply write to us at Bauhaus, 27 Quay Street, Manchester, M3 3GY including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.
If you end the contract for any reason after Products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them, post them back to us at Bauhaus, 27 Quay Street, Manchester, M3 3GY or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please call customer services on 0800 456 1789 or email us at customer-support@simplisafe.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are a consumer and you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
(f) We will pay the costs of return:
if the Products are faulty or misdescribed;
under the Goodwill Guarantee; or
if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an error in pricing, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return. (g) If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. (h) Where we are obliged to refund the price and or delivery costs to you we will do so by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price if you are exercising your right to change your mind and we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. (i) We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer and are exercising your right to change your mind then: (ii) Where we have not offered to collect the Products, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, he day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. (iii) IIn all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

Our rights to end the contract
We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if: (a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due; (b) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us; or (c) you are otherwise in material breach of the contract and do not remedy such breach within 14 days of us asking you to do so. If we end the contract in the situations set out in this clause 18 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Products. We will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products which will not be provided.

Emergency Evacuation Plan

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the U.S. National Fire Protection Association:

Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants.
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.
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.
Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering when you escape.
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.
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.
Escape quickly; don’t panic.
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.
