Don’t Forget to Set Your Clocks One Hour Ahead This Sunday Morning!
Well, it’s here again – Daylight Saving Time. Officially, the “spring forward” time change happens at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 14. To help you get ready for the Daylight Saving Time change, here are a few safety and security tips from Security Specialists:
- Set your clocks an hour ahead before going to bed Saturday night.
- Check the time on all appliances and electronic devices. Even though many devices switch to daylight saving time automatically, appliances like the oven and microwave may still need to be changed manually.
- Install fresh batteries in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors before changing your clocks.
- Don’t forget to test all smoke and carbon monoxide alarms at least twice a year.
- To check the operation of a smoke detector, simply press and hold the alarm’s “test” button. If it beeps or rings loudly, it’s working properly.
- Consumers should avoid testing a detector by using candles or matches placed under the alarm as repeated use of smoke to activate the device can cause them to fail when an actual fire occurs.
