INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a
new Deadbolt-Activated NAPCO Freedom Security System. This revolutionary new concept in residential security makes using your system easier than ever before possible, because the system uses its computerized control panel to continually monitor the status of your entry door (and deadbolt). It actually anticipates what command it should expect from you next--simply requiring just one button to press to effortlessly operate your security system, whether you’re going, returning or staying in for the night.
1 Test your siren and central station communicator:
Hold Down the BYPASS button for 4 seconds (until the F­TPBR Touchpad beeps). The system will generate a test report to central station and two momentary chirps of the siren.
Now everyone in your family, young and old alike, will enjoy the true peace-of-mind you would expect from a quality, state-of-the­art Security System, without the fuss of re­membering confusing numerical codes to operate it.
Simplicity and convenience begin with your System’s one-touch STAY or AWAY but­tons, then just lock or unlock the door as usual! Day in and day out, that’s all there is to it.
This booklet contains important infor­mation about the operation of your
IMPORTANT - TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY
From a Ready Condition (Disarmed State)
If the siren does not sound or sounds week, call for service.

FIRE PROTECTION
Preparing a Fire Escape Plan
Even with the most advanced fire alarm system, adequate protection requires an escape plan.
To prepare your plan, draw floor plans of your building. Show two exits - a front or back door and a window from each room. (Make sure the window works. You may need a special fire-escape ladder if the window is high up). Write down your outside meeting place.
Family Rehearsal
Rehearse each of the following activities:
1. Everyone in his room with the doors closed.
2. One person sounds the alarm.
3. Each person tests his door.
4. Pretend the door is hot and use the alternate escape exit.
5. Everyone meets outdoors at the assigned location.
Important! - Read Carefully
Discuss these escape procedures with all those who use the building:
1. In a residence, sleep with the bedroom door closed. A closed door will hold back deadly smoke while you escape.
2. When the fire alarm signals, escape quickly. Do not stop to pack.
3. Test the door. If it is hot, use
Would You Like More Safety Information?
your alternate route through the window. If the door is cool, brace your shoulder against it and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. Crawl through smoke, holding your breath. Close the doors again on leaving to help prevent the fire from spreading.
4. Go to your specific outdoor meeting place so you can see that everyone is safe.
5. Assign someone to make sure nobody returns to the burning building.
6. Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's telephone.
For more information on home fire detection, burn safety, and home fire safety, write to the National Fire Protection Association, Public Affairs Dept. 05A, Batterymarch Plaza, Quincy, MA 02269.

SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES
Your NAPCO Freedom Security System is constantly monitoring its own components, as well as all critical services, such as AC power and the telephone line, to insure that it is always ready to provide the protection for which it was designed. When a system trouble occurs, the F-TPBR Touchpad will caution you with a Trouble TBL light and a beeping sounder.
If you cannot immediately fix the trouble, the system can still be used. Simply press DISARM/SILENCE to view the trouble as de­scribed below and press DISARM/SILENCE again to exit the VIEW TROUBLE mode. The system can now be armed.
To view the trouble, press DISARM/SILENCE, count the number of Trouble TBL and READY flashes and refer to the following table. If there is more than one trouble to view, press DISARM/SILENCE again to scroll to the next trouble, and again to exit the VIEW TROUBLE mode.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of rea­sons. For example:
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without
power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the
signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation
manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, mask­ing, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area ap­proaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other
side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the premises, then they are less likely to alert all people. Persons may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appli­ance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to an alarm monitoring center may be out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (Cont'd)
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect them-
selves from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as
long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Lon­gevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the ac­tual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Business owners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their employees to learn about these developments.
