WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

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

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as pos­sible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary,
or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection.
Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately
or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some
but not all of these reasons may be:

■■

■ Inadequate Installation

■■

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide
adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a
security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are
covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure
and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other
building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction
to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must
be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation
by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this
service is available.

■■

■ Criminal Knowledge

■■

This system contains security features which were known to be
effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with
criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effective­ness of these features. It is important that a security system be
reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective
and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not
provide the protection expected.

■■

■ Access by Intruders

■■

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circum­vent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area
of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere
with or prevent the proper operation of the system.

■■

■ Power Failure

■■

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other
security devices require an adequate power supply for proper op­eration. If a device operates 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 installed 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 fluc­tuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a secu­rity system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately
conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates
as intended.

■■

■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries

■■

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide
several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected
battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and
type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low tem­peratures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the ex­pected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery
monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced,
this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and
maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.

■■

■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

■■

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

■■

■ System Users

■■

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

■■

■ Smoke Detectors

■■

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly
alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which
follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed

or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach 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
smoke from 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. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning
of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking
in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children
playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be
circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all oc­cupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

■■

■ Motion Detectors

■■

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated
areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They
cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants.
Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They
have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be de­tected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They
cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor,
closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type
of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as mask­ing, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors,
windows or any other part of the detection system will impair
its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in
temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when
the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or
if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near
the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,
radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, light­ing and so on.

■■

■ Warning Devices

■■

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not
warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an interven­ing wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different
level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the
occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices
may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos,
radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or
passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may
not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

■■

■ Telephone Lines

■■

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of
service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut
the telephone line or defeat its 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 the occupants will not be protected from the emer­gency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a
timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not
occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

■■

■ Component Failure

■■

Although 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 Testing

■■

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from oper­ating as intended can be found by regular testing and mainte­nance. The complete system should be tested weekly and im­mediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm,
an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity
inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all
sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

■■

■ Security and Insurance

■■

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute
for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a
substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act
prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an
emergency situation.
