IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT! PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would
include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central
Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).
EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION
Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the
United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in
the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found later in this
document.
National Fire Protection Association Recommendations on Smoke Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat
detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the
National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code
(NFPA 72).
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of
fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household
as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate
sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on
each additional story of the family living unit, including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke
detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen,
hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps
are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be
heard by all occupants.
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to
the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window,
should your path be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there
is a long drop to the ground.
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that
can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free
from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent
deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool,
open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in.
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke
rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for
those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many
die going back

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.
For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without
power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly.
Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal
path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or
provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as
follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start
where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense
a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire
every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it
operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation
manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and
intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes
place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows.
Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system
can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature
of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side
of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less
likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is
muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however
loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or
temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves
from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as
long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their
lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to
learn about these developments.
In The Event Of Telephone Operational Problems
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control from the phone line by removing the plug from the phone wall
jack. We recommend that your installer demonstrate this disconnection on installation of the system. Do not attempt to disconnect the
phone connection inside the control. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phones work correctly after the
control has been disconnected from the phone wall jack, the control has a problem and you should immediately call for service. If upon
disconnection of the control, there is still a problem on the phone line, notify the Telephone Company that they have a problem and
request prompt phone repair service. The user may not under any circumstances attempt any service or repairs to the security system.
Repairs must be made only by authorized service (see the LIMITED WARRANTY statement for information on how to obtain service).
