Warning: Installer Please Read
Carefully
Note to Installers
The warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is the installer’s responsibility to
bring each item in this warning to the a ttention of all 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 the
reasons may be:
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuf-
ficient coverage, disconnec t a warning device, or interfere with or pre-
vent the proper operation of the system.
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.
Compromise of Radio Frequency
(Wireless)
A device's signals may not reac h the receiver under all circumstances,
which could include: metal objects placed on or near the radio path,
deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
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 your security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its fea tures re main effective and that it is
updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection
expected.
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, a nd 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 nee d to be replaced, this monitor may fail to
operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the
system in good operating condition.
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 e nsure 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.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from opera ting 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.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended,
yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency due to their
inability to respond to the wa rnings in a timely manner. If the system is
remotely monitored, the re sponse may not occur in time to protect the
occupants or their belongings.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They c annot discriminate between intruders and intended occ upants. Motion detectors
do not provide volumetric a rea protection. They have multiple beams
of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas
covere d by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs
behind walls, ceilings, floors, 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 re duced 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, barbecues, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detec tors and many other
security devices re quire an a dequate 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 fa iled, they must be charged, in
good c ondition and installed correctly. If a device opera tes 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.

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, re nters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
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 detec tors 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, c hildren playing
with matches, or arson. Even if the smoke detector operates as inten-
ded, there may be circumstance s when there is insufficient warning to
allow all occ upants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of ser-
vice 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.
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 wa rning devices may be interfered with by
other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners,
other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however
loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
