As fire prevention month approaches, remember: Whether you live on or off campus take the time to learn the sounds of fire safety. Hear a beep, get on your feet. Get out and stay out, call 911 from outside. Hear a chirp, make a change. A chirping alarm needs attention.  Replace the batteries or the entire alarm.

• Three loud beeps mean smoke or fire is detected by a smoke alarm. 
• A continuous set of four beeps means carbon monoxide.
• A single “chirp” every 30 to 60 seconds means a low battery. If the chirp continues after you’ve replaced the battery this means the alarm needs to be replaced. Alarms should be replaced if they’re over 10 years old.

IIT accepts work-tickets from employees and students, via an online system called Revelation Help Desk. This allows the end-user to submit ticket(s) for technology related issues (i.e. classroom problems, internet connectivity concerns, hardware/software glitches, form access questions, etc). It also contains a self-help knowledge base filled with common questions/answers, to allow the end-user to troubleshoot on their own (i.e. cell phone email setup, password questions, WiFi help, etc).
