MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2007.
Change Your Smoke Alarm Batteries!The WCFCA encourages you to change Smoke Alarm batteries at least twice each year. An easy way to remember is to change these batteries when you change your clock back when the time changes in the spring and fall. Replace old batteries with fresh, high quality batteries to keep your Smoke Alarms ready to protect you all year-long. Check Your Smoke Alarms!After inserting fresh batteries in your Smoke Alarm, make sure the Alarm is working by activating the safety test button. The WCFCA recommends that you test all of your Smoke Alarms at least once each month. If you have any doubt regarding the working condition of a Smoke Alarm, we recommend you replace it. Clean Your Smoke Alarms!Help your Smoke Alarm remain sensitive and ready to protect you by gently using a vacuum cleaner once a month to remove dust and cobwebs. If your Smoke Alarms have been accidently painted or contaminated, replacement may be necessary.
