to failure or malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
2. Your system should be tested weekly.
3. Your system will not work without power.
4. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correct ly, and properly placed to
provide notification of an alarm event.
5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.
6. Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system.
7. It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery connected.

connected and adequately charged.
8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.

Ready light will be on or
flashing when all protected
zones and sensors are
secure. NOTE: If any zones
are bypassed, a sensor in
that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light.
The security system will not
arm if the ready light is off.
Refer to "Making Your
System Ready to Arm".
If the power light is off, you have no AC power. Restore power if
possible. If not, contact the installing company.
