6. What taxes do I have to pay?

Taxes vary from region to region. Most states require the collection of a sales tax on the equipment you purchase. Some states require an additional service tax on the installation, monitoring, and repair services you receive. Also, unless you own Protective Equipment, Brink’s will bill you once a year for the property tax assessed by your local taxing authority. This tax is generally less than $15.

7. Do I pay for service calls and repairs?

Repair service during the first 90 days is free of charge. After the first 90 days, we charge for labor. If you prefer, you can purchase a service plan from Brink’s, to continue to receive free repairs after the first 90 days.

Normal service hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. A premium rate is charged for service calls on weekends, holidays, or after hours.

Repairs and Upgrades

1. Can I make an appointment for a service call?

Our service center schedules service calls for the morning or afternoon of a specific day. Morning service calls occur between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Afternoon calls occur between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM.

2. Can I have additional equipment installed at a later date?

Yes, additional equipment may be installed. You will be charged for the installation and for the service call. If you choose to have the equipment installed initially, however, you will not be charged for a service call. You can learn more about the wide variety of additional equipment that is available at

www.m ybrinks.com.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 14

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.m ybrinks.com or call 1-800-445-0872. Your account will be credited within 60 days of the installation date.

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 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 investigate an alarm independent of the authorities.

3. How do I change my emergency contacts?

never attempt to

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 18

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.

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 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

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.

www.m ybrinks.com to

www.m ybrinks.com.

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.

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 20

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

www.m ybrinks.com to get more information about our Customer

at Move Program.

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

The keypad also contains a battery that allows the system to continue to function, even if the power in your home goes out.

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?

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.

Power Supply

Door/ Window

Sensors

id Extender

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.

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 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.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 24

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

Telephone Jack

(RJ31X)

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.

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.

Motion Detector

Heat Sensor

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.

This device detects when the temperature near the sensor is dangerously high. It is mounted in a central location of the house, on the ceiling.

Setting the Clock

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.

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.

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

Glass Breakage

Detector

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.

Key Fob

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.

Auxiliary

Siren-Strobe

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.

Using The Grid Extender

The grid extender is designed to allow you to easily check whether it is operational or not. Press the button in the center to see if the grid extender is in operation. If the indicator light turns on, the grid extender is fully operational. If the grid extender light is flashing, it indicates a low battery or a communications failure. See page 33 to replace the battery.

Using The Keypad

The keypad(s) in your home is designed to be user-friendly. You will soon learn the simple keypad commands which enable you to turn the system on or off, test it or customize it. Follow the illustrations and instructions on the following pages to learn all about your keypad commands.

Grid Identification Card

Zone 1: Front door Zone 2: Back door Sys. Component 1: Front keypad Sys. Component 2: Grid extender in den Zone 3: Den center window

The Grid Identification Card helps you identify the location of each component in your system. Each component listed will correspond with indicator codes on the keypad.

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

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.

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.

To replace the battery in the grid extender

Unscrew the grid extender from the wall outlet and unplug the grid extender. Slide open the rear door by sliding down. Unplug the small connector plug that connects the battery pack to the grid extender, and replace with Ingrid battery model IG180, 3.6V.

To replace the battery in the keypad

The screen on the keypad will indicate “LOW BATT”. On the side of the keypad you will see a slot that is the side of the door to the battery compartment. 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.

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.

To replace the battery in a sensor

If the keypad is indicating that a sensor’s battery is low, call Brinks Customer Care at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance.The sensor battery cannot be replaced.

BrinksKeyPadPrinterSprd.2.22.06 2/22/06 3:06 PM Page 38

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.

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:

NOT READY ALL ON INSTANT DOOR CHIME NO AC MOTION OFF

TROUBLE TEST LINE CUT LOW BATT

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:

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.

Turning the System On with Motions Turned Off Mode

1. Close all of the doors and windows and make sure that the message window displays READY. (If not, see page 16.)

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.

2. Press the ON key.

3. Press the MOTION OFF key. (You must press the MOTION OFF key no more than 20 seconds after you press the ON key.)

The ON light blinks until the exit delay ends. The keypad displays ON, MOTION OFF.

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.
