DSL service

If you convert your telephone line to a high-speed data format (such as DSL), it could affect the ability of the security system to transmit signals to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. If you have switched to such a service, you should immediately conduct the Siren and Transmission Test described on page 25. If the test is not successful, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Brink’s may need to install a filter provided by

your DSL company to restore communication.

However, because of the nature of DSL service you should be aware that, even with this filter installed, the system will not be able to communicate with the Brink’s Monitoring Center any time that your telephone is in use or off the hook. For more information, visit

2. What if I move within the initial term of my contract?

You may have the system moved to another residence, provided we service the area and you pay the applicable move charge. The new owner of the home may take over the system by signing a new agreement and paying our current reprogramming fee. This will release your from the remaining contract obligations. If the new owner does not wish to take over the system, and you do not choose to move the system, you will be responsible for the original contractual obligation.

3. Do I own the system?

If you paid the connection fee only, Brink’s owns the alarm system. If you paid the additional purchase charge, you own the system. If you purchased the system, your installation work order will show a separate “Purchase Fee” of usually an additional $500.

4. Will I receive a discount on my insurance for having a security system installed?

Most homeowner’s policies offer discounts to policy holders with security systems. Contact your insurance company for more information. The Certificate of Installation that your installer provided can be used to provide proof to your insurance company that the installation took place.

5. How do I receive credit for referring another customer?

If you refer a new customer to Brink’s, and that customer has a Brink’s Home Security system installed, you will receive one month of monitoring free. Please have the person you referred write your name and telephone number in the space provided at the bottom of their contract. Contact Brink’s Customer Care at www.mybrinks.com or call 1-800-445-0872. Your account will be credited within 60 days of the installation date.

Welcome

Thank you for choosing Brinks Home Security®. We appreciate you choosing us as your Home Security provider, and are confident you will appreciate the many advanced features and benefits of Brinks Home Security with the innovative InGrid Security technology.

The new InGrid Home Protection technology delivers the ultimate in safety and security like no other system through its unique digital wireless technology. Each keypad and grid extender you now own together creates your own private “grid network” that is almost impossible for burglars to defeat. With no central control box to easily disable, with its ability to work even when your home’s power goes out, InGrid offers complete protection when used in conjunction with its advanced window and door sensors.

To get the most out of your new system, please take the time to read this manual. It describes the components of the system, some of the great new features you may not have expected, and tells you how to use the keypad.

What’s more, this manual also tells you what to do in the event of an alarm.

Please be sure to read your Customer Emergency Information Schedule so that you will have a clear understanding of Brink’s procedures if you should have an alarm.

Need questions answered? Visit

www.mybrinks.com or call Brinks’ round-theclock Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. We look forward to providing you with unprecedented service, security and ease of mind.

Emergency Contacts

1. Who should I list as an emergency contact?

You should list people who live fairly close to you and who usually know where you are and how to contact you. Ideally, at least one of your contacts should have keys to your house and permission to authorize service in your absence.You can change your list of emergency contacts by logging on to the Update My Alarm Contacts List at

www.mybrinks.com or by calling Brink’s Customer

Care at 1-800-445-0872.

2. What should I tell my emergency contacts?

First of all, be sure to tell them that they are one of your emergency contacts. Tell them that, after the emergency agencies are notified, Brink’s may attempt to reach them when there is an alarm at your house. Discuss what action you would like them to take if this happens.You should also tell your emergency contacts if they have your permission to authorize service of the system in your absence.

On occasion, representatives of an emergency agency may ask your emergency contact to meet them at the house with the house keys. Emergency contacts, however, should

never attempt to

investigate an alarm independent of the authorities.

3. How do I change my emergency contacts?

Log on to the Update My Alarm Contacts List at www.mybrinks.com or call Brink’s Customer Care. Be prepared to give your code word and provide the updated information.

Financial Questions

1. Who pays false alarms fines?

Because the vast majority of false alarms are outside of Brink’s control, we require you to be responsible for all of your false alarm fines.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 16

4. If I go away on vacation, should I give my master code to my neighbor who takes care of the house?

It is best not to give out your master code or code word. Instead, you can program an auxiliary code for your neighbor to use. See the instructions on page 23. You can also add an auxiliary code word by calling Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Be sure to give your emergency contact(s) a telephone number where you can be reached while you are away.

Alarms and Emergencies

1. If there is an alarm, does the system reset?

Yes, as long as there are no additional alarms after the system stops sounding. The system resets itself approximately five minutes later.

However, if a fire alarm is activated, the siren will sound

continuously until you enter your user code.

2. What happens if my telephone line is cut?

If you purchased the optional Line Cut feature, the siren sounds or the keypad beeps within about a minute of the time the line was cut. The system can still sound an audible alarm but the Monitoring Center will not receive an alarm signal until the line is restored.

3. If the power goes out at my house, will my alarm system still work?

Yes. Each keypad and grid extender has a battery that can provide back-up power for up to 24 hours. Once the electrical power to your home is restored, the batteries recharge automatically. Like all batteries, these will eventually need to be replaced.The keypad will alert you with the “low batt” indictor. To replace a battery refer to page 33 for the grid extender or keypad.For the window or door sensors, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to schedule a service call. If you purchased an extended service plan, there will be no charge for this service.

How to Avoid False Alarms

Numerous false alarms can affect the quality of your monitoring service. They can also result in fines from your local municipality. To avoid false alarms, follow these simple tips:

1. Be sure that everyone in your house knows how to use the alarm system. Everyone should know a user code and the code word. You can use the interactive keypad at

www.mybrinks.com to

practice turning the system on and off without causing an alarm.

2. If you cause an alarm accidentally, cancel it by entering your user code and pressing the CANCEL key. (See page 18.)

3. Test the system every week, following the instructions beginning on page 25. If you discover any problems, promptly notify Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872.

4. If there was an alarm on the system, and you do not know why it happened, contact Brink’s Customer Care immediately. You may also review the system’s alarm history at

www.mybrinks.com.

5. If you are going to do any kind of work at your home that will create a large amount of dust, (such as fumigation), completely cover the system’s motion detectors and smoke/heat detectors. Be sure to remove the covers when you are finished.

6. If you know that the motion detector is causing false alarms, you can still turn the system on, while the motion detector is turned off. See the instructions on page 14 (Turning the System On with Motions Turned Off Mode). Promptly notify Brink’s Customer Care to correct the problem.

7. If you get an indoor pet after the system is installed, contact Brink’s Customer Care. The system’s motion detector may need to be adjusted so that your pet does not cause a false alarm.

8. Motion detectors can detect the movement of balloons, plants, curtains, and other common household objects. Be sure that air currents cannot move these items into the area covered by the motion detector.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 18

9. Notify Brink’s before you sell or rent out your home, so that we can teach the new residents how to use the system. Visit our website at

www.mybrinks.com to get more information about our Customer

Move Program.

10. Take care when cooking or lighting a fire in the fireplace. Excessive smoke from these activities can cause false alarms.

The Brinks Home Security System by InGrid

(See page 8 for more information or review the Keypad Functions information at

www.mybrinks.com.)

eypad

5. What happens if I add DSL (digital subscriber line) service to my home?

Converting your telephone line to a high-speed data format like DSL can affect the ability of the system to report alarm conditions to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. See page 47 for more information.

Codes and Code Words

1. Can my master code number be changed?

Yes. Notify Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to set up the change. Customer Care is ready to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A service charge will be assessed for this request.

2. How do I change my master code word?

The same person who signed the Protective Service Agreement must send a written request to Brink’s before the master code word can be changed. The written request must identify the account, the current master code word, the new master code word, and the writer’s signature. The request should be mailed to: Brink’s Home Security, Customer Care Department, 8880 Ester Boulevard, Irving, TX 75063.

If there is an immediate need to change your master code word, call Brink’s Customer Care to obtain Brink’s fax number.

3. I’m planning to go away on vacation. Should I notify Brink’s of my plans?

Yes. You can do this by filling out the My Vacation Notes form at www.mybrinks.com or by calling Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Brink’s will need to know when you plan to leave, and when you will return, as well as who to contact in the case of an emergency. Your emergency contact may be asked to go to the house to secure it, or to meet the police at the house in the event of an emergency. Be sure that this person has a set of house keys, and knows a user code and a code word.

Questions and Answers

General Use of the System

1. How can I avoid false alarms?

Take a look at the tips on page 3. If you have any further questions, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872. Customer Care is available to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

2. Do I need an alarm permit?

Alarm permit ordinances vary from area to area. Please contact your local emergency agencies, or your city or county government to determine if a permit is needed in your area. It is your responsibility to get the permit, pay the fees, and inform Brink’s of your permit number.

If you do not have a permit, emergency agencies may choose not to respond to an alarm at your home. In addition, false alarm fines are generally much higher for systems lacking permits.

3. How often should I test the system?

You should test the system once a week. Follow the test instructions beginning on page 25 of this manual.

4. Should I clean the smoke/heat detector?

Yes. Follow the instructions on page 37.

The power supply is plugged into an outlet near the keypad. It provides electrical power to the keypad. This should not be unplugged.

If you should notice that the power supply is unplugged, plug it back in immediately.

One sensor is placed in or on the frame and body of each door or window that is protected. If the door or window is opened while the system is on, an alarm sounds. An alarm signal is sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

Depending on the size and configuration of your home, one or more grid extenders will be installed. The grid extender is mounted in an out-of-the-way location — for example, behind a sofa. One grid extender in your home must be connected to a RJ31X. This will be done by your installer.

The grid extender is the backbone of your wireless security network. It communicates with all of the other parts and receives information from the system’s sensors and keypad. It also contains a battery that allows the system to operate during a power failure. When an alarm occurs, the grid extender sends a message over the telephone line to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

Should you need to unplug the grid extender, you will notice it is screwed into the wall outlet.To remove the grid extender, simply unscrew and then unplug. To re-attach, plug the grid extender into the outlet and then reaffix the screw to secure the grid extender to the outlet.

This device, located near the grid extender, connects the grid extender to the telephone line in your home. This makes it possible for your security system to send alarm signals over the telephone lines to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

Do not remove the grid extender telephone cable from the jack unless a Brink’s representative or this manual instructs you to do so.

The highly visible sign and stickers warn potential intruders that your home is protected by a Brink’s Home Security system. You will be provided with one sign and several stickers.

Optional Equipment

This device detects smoke and dangerously high temperatures. It is mounted in a central location of the house, on the ceiling.

This sensor is mounted on the wall, inside your home.The sensor can detect when someone is moving within its field of view. If the system is on at the time a person is detected, the system sends an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

2. Review the escape plan with everyone who lives in your home and practice escape procedures.

3. To increase the time you will have to escape a fire, sleep with your bedroom door closed. If you suspect a fire, touch the door. Do not open the door if it feels hot. If it does not, brace your shoulder against the door and open it slowly. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rush in. Leave the building quickly and call the fire department from a neighbor’s telephone, or from your cellular telephone.

In the event of a fire, the best way to ensure the safety of your family is to get the earliest possible warning. This is best achieved by installing fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the house. This includes:

• a smoke detector installed outside of each of the bedrooms

• heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallways, attic, furnace room, closets, utility and storage rooms, basement, and garage.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72.

Emergency Evacuation Plans

An emergency evacuation plan helps to ensure that you and your family escape from your home safely in the event of a fire. Use these guidelines from the National Fire Protection Association to prepare your own emergency evacuation plan.

1. Draw up a floor plan of your building, like the one shown. Show any part of the building—the windows, doors, rooftops—that can be used as an escape route.

Find at least two ways to escape from each room. One will be the door leading to the normal exit. Another may be a window that opens easily. If the window is high off the ground, you may need to install an escape ladder nearby. Identify a place outdoors where everyone is to meet after leaving the building.

The numeric display of your keypad may show the time of day. You do not need to set the clock; it adjusts itself automatically every few months.

While the system is making this short call, you will not be able to use your telephone.

This small detector is mounted near any large expanse of glass (windows or doors) in your home. It identifies the sound of breaking glass.

The key fob is a small remote-control device for the security system. The four buttons on the device can be used to turn the system on and off, and to do other specialized functions, like trigger an emergency alarm.

A siren is built in to your keypad and is a standard feature. This auxiliary siren-strobe is a small box that can be mounted inside your home. When an alarm occurs, the auxiliary siren-strobe sounds a warning, designed to frighten off intruders.

Optional Features

If your telephone line is cut, the optional line cut feature notifies you. If the system is on, the siren sounds. If the system is off, the keypad beeps and displays a trouble message. Because a line cut results in a loss of telephone service, this event is not reported to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.

Emergency Keys

If you are home when a police, medical, or fire emergency arises, you can alert the Brink’s Monitoring Center of your situation with a single press of an emergency key. The system does not need to be on. (Not all emergency buttons are available to all commercial customers.)

The table shows what purpose each key serves, and what happens when it is pressed. (Depending upon how the system is programmed, you may need to press the emergency key twice within three seconds to signal an emergency alarm.)

CALL 911 FIRST

If your community provides 911 Emergency service, and you are able to reach a telephone during the emergency, Brink’s recommends that you call 911 before pressing the emergency key. This gives you the fastest access to emergency services.

If you press an emergency key accidentally, cancel the alarm by pressing the CANCEL key, and entering your user code. (For more information about canceling alarms, see page 18, or review the Reduce False Alarms information at

www.mybrinks.com.)

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 34

User Codes

When the system is installed, you select a code number to turn the system on and off. This is your master user code, and it may be three or four digits long. To change this code, contact Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872.

You can create a separate auxiliary user code for anyone who needs access to your home. See page 22 for more information. You can change or delete the auxiliary code whenever you like.

If you have questions about the system’s user codes, visit our website or contact Brink’s Customer Care.

Entering and Exiting

Designated Doors

The designated entry/exit doors are those doors that you must use to enter and leave your home while the system is on. These doors may be equipped with the door sensors described on page 5. If you use a different door to enter your home, an alarm may sound.

Entry Delay

When you enter your home while the security system is on, the keypad emits a tone. This tone reminds you to turn the system off. You must enter your user code before the tone stops. In most systems, the entry delay is 40 seconds. If you do not enter your code before the delay ends, an alarm is triggered.

Exit Delay

When you turn the system on in normal mode, you must exit the building and close the door before the exit delay ends. For most systems, the exit delay is 80 seconds. That number may vary, however, if local agency or regulator restrictions apply. Once that delay has ended, you will trigger an alarm if you open a protected door or window, or move past a motion detector.

Note: The length of the system’s entry and exit delays can be adjusted (within certain limits). If you find it difficult to enter or exit your home before the delay ends, contact Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 to have it changed.

Note: If the system appears to have no power (the keypad does not light or respond to your commands), call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance.

Simply place a coin in the slot and turn to pop the door open. Unplug the small connector plug that connects the battery pack to the keypad and replace with battery model IG180, 3.6V.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 36

Low Battery Indication

When “LOW BATT” is displayed on the keypad message window, you will need to replace the battery in either the keypads, grid extenders, or sensors. You also may hear a beeping sound. The screen will display the grid Zone number corresponding to the location of the device with a low battery. A sensor is indicated by 2 digits. Other components are 2 digits preceeded by a "C". For example, if Zone One has a low sensor battery, the keypad screen will look like this:

What it means: The battery in one of your system components (keypad or grid extender) is low. If there has not been a power outage at your home recently, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance. Or you can replace the battery yourself on the keypad. Sensor batteries are not user serviceable. Call Brink's Customer Care for assistance.If there has been a recent power failure, follow the instructions below.

What to do:

5. Check the breaker box. If any breakers associated with any room’s power outlet in which a keypad or grid extender is plugged into is in the OFF position, move the breaker switch to ON. If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

6. If none of these steps resolve the problem, call Brink’s Customer Care at 1-800–445-0872.

1. If you wish to silence the keypad’s beeping, press the CANCEL key.

2. Once power to your home is restored, wait 24 hours for the battery to recharge.

No AC Power Indication

What it means: When “NO AC” is displayed on the keypad’s message window, it means the electrical power to the system has been interrupted, and the system is drawing power from one or more of its backup batteries.This can happen if the power is off to your home. It can also happen if one or more of the system components (the keypads or grid extenders) are without electrical power. The batteries can provide power to the system for up to 24 hours.

What to do:

SEE PAGE 33 FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT FOR THE KEYPAD OR GRID EXTENDER

1. If you have no power to your home, wait for the electrical power to be restored. Once this happens, the system automatically switches back to its electrical source. The backup batteries recharge for the next 24 hours.

2. If you have power to your home, check the power supply to ensure that it is properly plugged in. (See page 5 for more information about the power supply.)

If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

3. Unplug the power supply. It may be screwed in place; if so, remove the screw. Plug a small appliance into the outlet to verify the outlet is working properly. If it is, continue to the next step.

4. Look for a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the outlet, or on a nearby outlet. The GFCI should look similar to the one shown in the picture. If the red reset button juts out from the outlet, push it back into place.

If this solves the problem, stop. Otherwise, continue to the next step.
