CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR!!! Yale University has installed 10 year lithium ion smoke detectors in the common rooms and bedrooms of all residential occupancies. This is the first line of defense to notify occupants of smoke and fire. It is imperative that smoke detectors are working properly. Students are required to test smoke detectors weekly. To test your smoke detector, press and hold the test button for 5-20 seconds, or until the alarm sounds continuously. If the smoke detector does not alarm, report the problem immediately to the Yale University Customer Service Center at 2-6888. Smoke detectors are sealed units. The battery cannot be removed. It is normal for the smoke detector to beep periodically over the next hour after it has been tested.
