WARNING Please Read Caref ully

Note to Installers This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contactwith system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warningto the attention of the users of this system.

System Failures This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. Thereare circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emer-gencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any typemay be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for avariety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:

Inadequate InstallationA security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequateprotection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professionalto ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches onwindows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors,

walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of suff icient strengthand construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluationmust be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation bythe fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service isavailable.

Criminal Knowledge This system contains security features which were known to be effective atthe time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent todevelop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It isimportant that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that itsfeatures remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that

it does not provide the protection expected. Access by IntrudersIntruders may enter through an unprotected access point, ci rcumvent asensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuff i-cient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or pre-vent the proper operation of the system.

Power FailureControl units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other securitydevices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a deviceoperates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the

batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and in-stalled correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption,however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power.Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctua-tions which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system.After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a completesystem test to ensure that the system operates as intended.

Failure of Replaceable Batteries This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide severalyears of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is afunction of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such

as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctua-tions may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting devicehas a low battery monitor which identif ies when the batteries need to bereplaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing andmaintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.

Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless)Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which couldinclude metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

System UsersA user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly dueto permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the devicein time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that allsystem users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and thatthey know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.

Smoke DetectorsSmoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupantsof a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectorsmay have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able toreach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs,or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smokefrom fires on another level of the residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smokedetectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessnessor safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, chil-dren playing with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstanceswhen there is insuff icient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time toavoid injury or death.

Motion DetectorsMotion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as

shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do notprovide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered bythese beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Anytype of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows orany other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional orunintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of theseheat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sun-light, steam vents, lighting and so on.

Warning DevicesWarning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warnpeople or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door.If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence orpremise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awak-ened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noisesources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other ap-pliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, maynot be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

Telephone LinesIf telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busyfor certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeatits operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.

Insufficient Time There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet theoccupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability torespond to the warnings in a timely manner. I f the system is monitored, theresponse may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

Component FailureAlthough every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible,the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

Inadequate TestingMost problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as in-tended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete sys-tem should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attemptedbreak-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of con-struction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should includeall sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any

other operational devices that are part of the system.

Security and InsuranceRegardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for prop-erty or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for prop-erty owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or mini-mize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
