Please read this guide thoroughly
to familiarize yourself with your new
security system. Keep this booklet
handy for future reference. Note
especially the ALARM PLAN on
page 15. Your alarm specialist will
help you fill it out and explain the
various features and operating
procedures for your new Magnum
Alert-825/825HS.
NOTICE
You’ll probably find items mentioned in this booklet which do not
apply to your system. DON’T
WORRY!
The Napco Magnum Alert-8254
825HS has such a wide variety of
features that few, if any, security
systems will ever need them all.
Your alarm professional has
chosen appropriate features for
your situation. Ask him about
them.
Your Magnum
is carefully designed and
engineered to the highest industry standards. To provide optimum
safety and security with this
equipment, we recommend that
the user become thoroughly
familiar with the unit and periodically check its condition and state
of readiness.
