Fire Safety Tips
• In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make
sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed. Never
stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any
reason; it may cost you your life.
• Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to practice
a home escape plan frequently with your family.
Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome occupants while they
sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the
bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements.
Panic Alarms
In case of an emergency, the Magellan system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm after
simultaneously pressing and holding two specific keys for three seconds. Based on your needs, these panic alarms can generate audible
alarms (sirens or bells) or silent alarms and can communicate specific messages to your monitoring station. For instance, pressing [1]
and [3] can mean “call the police” or anything you require. This feature must be set by your installer.
Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for the police.
Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for a medical alarm.
Press and hold keys [7] and [9] for a fire alarm.
