Warning: Installer Please Read Car efully

Note to installers

The wa rnings on this page contain vital inf ormation. As the only individual in conta ct with system user s, it is the installer’s r esponsibility to br ing
each item in this wa rning to the attention of all use rs of this system.

System failures

This system has be en ca ref ully designed to be a s e ffe ctive as possible. There ar e cir cumstance s, howe ver, involving fire, burgla ry, or other types
of eme rgenc ies w here it may not provide protection. A ny a larm system of any type may be compromised deliber ately or may f ail to oper ate a s
expected for a var iety of r ea sons. Some, but not all, of the r easons may be :

Access by intruders

Intruders ma y e nter through an unpr otected a ccess point, circ umvent a sensing devic e, eva de dete ction by moving through an ar ea of insufficient
coverage , disconne ct a wa rning device , or interfe re with or prevent the prope r oper ation of the system.

Component failure

Although e very e ffort ha s be en made to make this system a s r eliable a s possible, the system may fa il to f unction a s intende d due to the failure of a
component.

Compromise of radio frequency (Wireless)

A device 's signals may not r eac h the re ceive r under a ll circumstance s, whic h c ould include: metal objec ts plac ed on or ne ar the r adio pa th,
delibera te jamming or othe r inadver tent r adio signal interfer ence .

Criminal knowledge

This system conta ins sec urity f eature s w hich w ere known to be eff ective a t the time of ma nufac ture. It is possible for persons with cr iminal intent
to de velop technique s which re duce the eff ectiveness of these fe ature s. It is important that your secur ity system be re viewed pe riodically to
ensure that its fe atures r emain effec tive a nd tha t it is update d or r eplac ed if it is found that it doe s not provide the protec tion expe cted.

Failureof replaceable batteries

This system’s wire less transmitters have been de signed to provide sever al ye ars of ba ttery life under nor mal c onditions. The e xpecte d ba ttery life
is a f unction of the device environme nt, usage , a nd type . Ambient conditions suc h a s high humidity, high or low temper atures, or large temperature
fluctuations may re duce the expec ted batter y life . W hile e ach tra nsmitting device has a low ba ttery monitor whic h identifie s whe n the batterie s
need to be replace d, this monitor ma y f ail to oper ate a s e xpecte d. Regular te sting and maintena nce will kee p the system in good opera ting
condition.

Inadequate installation

A sec urity system must be installed pr operly in or der to provide adequa te protec tion. Eve ry installation should be eva luated by a sec urity
profe ssional to ensure that all a cc ess points and a rea s a re c overe d. Loc ks a nd latches on windows and door s must be sec ure and ope rate a s
intended. Windows, door s, wa lls, ce ilings and other building mater ials must be of suffic ient stre ngth a nd c onstruction to provide the level of
protec tion expe cted. A r eeva luation must be done during a nd a fter a ny c onstruction activity. A n e valuation by the fire and/or police de partment is
highly re commended if this se rvice is ava ilable.

Inadequate t esting

Most proble ms that would preve nt a n a larm system from oper ating a s intende d can be found by regula r testing a nd maintenance . The complete
system should be tested we ekly and immediately a fter a brea k-in, an attempted br eak- in, a fire, a storm, a n e arthqua ke, an a ccident, or a ny kind
of construc tion ac tivity inside or outside the pr emises. The testing should include a ll sensing devic es, keypa ds, c onsoles, a larm indicating device s,
and any othe r opera tional de vices that ar e par t of the system.

Insufficient time

There may be c ircumstance s w hen the system will oper ate a s intende d, ye t the oc cupants will not be protecte d f rom a n e merge ncy due to their
inability to r espond to the warnings in a timely manner . I f the system is re motely monitored, the r esponse may not occ ur in time to prote ct the
occupants or their belongings.

Motion detectors

Motion dete ctors ca n only dete ct motion within the de signated ar eas a s shown in their re spective installation instruc tions. They c annot discriminate
between intruders a nd intende d oc cupa nts. Motion de tectors do not pr ovide volumetric area protection. They ha ve multiple be ams of detec tion and
motion ca n only be de tecte d in unobstructe d a rea s c overe d by these bea ms. They c annot detec t motion w hich occ urs be hind walls, ce ilings, floors,
closed doors, glass pa rtitions, glass door s or windows. A ny type of tampering whe ther intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or
spraying of a ny ma terial on the lenses, mirror s, windows or a ny othe r part of the de tection system w ill impair its prope r operation. Passive infr are d
motion detec tors opera te by sensing cha nges in temperature . Howe ver their e ffe ctiveness c an be re duce d when the ambient temper ature rises
near or above body te mperatur e or if ther e ar e intentional or unintentional sourc es of he at in or ne ar the detec tion ar ea. Some of these heat
source s c ould be he ater s, r adiators, stoves, bar becue s, f ireplac es, sunlight, stea m vents, lighting and so on.

Power failure

Control units, intrusion detec tors, smoke detec tors a nd many other se curity device s r equire a n adequate powe r supply for proper opera tion. If a
device opera tes from batteries, it is possible f or the batter ies to fa il. Eve n if the ba tteries ha ve not f ailed, they must be char ged, in good condition
and installed cor rec tly. If a device operates only by AC power, a ny interruption, howeve r brie f, will re nder tha t devic e inopera tive while it doe s
not ha ve power. Powe r interruptions of any length are ofte n a ccompa nied by voltage fluctua tions which may da mage ele ctronic e quipment such
as a se curity system. Af ter a pow er inter ruption ha s occurre d, immediately conduct a c omplete system te st to e nsure tha t the system oper ates as
intended.

Security and insurance

Regardless of its ca pabilities, an a larm system is not a substitute f or prope rty or life insuranc e. An ala rm system a lso is not a substitute for pr operty
owner s, re nters, or othe r occ upants to ac t pr udently to pre vent or minimize the har mful e ffe cts of an eme rgenc y situation.

Smokedetectors

Smoke de tectors that ar e a pa rt of this system may not properly a lert occ upants of a fire for a number of r easons, some of w hich f ollow. The
smoke detec tors ma y ha ve bee n imprope rly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to re ac h the smoke de tectors, such a s whe n the fire is
in a chimney, wa lls or roof s, or on the othe r side of closed doors. Smoke dete ctors may not detec t smoke f rom f ires on another le vel of the
residence or building. Ever y fire is diff ere nt in the amount of smoke produc ed and the r ate of bur ning. Smoke dete ctors ca nnot sense all type s of
fires equa lly we ll. Smoke detec tors ma y not provide timely warning of f ires ca used by ca rele ssness or safe ty haz ards suc h a s smoking in be d,
violent e xplosions, esca ping ga s, imprope r storage of flammable ma terials, over loaded electrica l c ircuits, c hildren playing with ma tches, or a rson.
Even if the smoke de tector ope rate s a s intende d, ther e may be c ircumstanc es when the re is insufficient wa rning to a llow a ll occ upants to e scape
in time to avoid injury or dea th.

Telephone lines

If tele phone lines are used to transmit a larms, they may be out of se rvice or busy f or ce rtain periods of time. Also a n intruder may c ut the
telephone line or defe at its oper ation by more sophisticated mea ns which may be difficult to de tect.

Warning d evices

Warning de vices such a s sire ns, be lls, horns, or strobe s may not wa rn people or wake n someone sleeping if there is a n inter vening w all or door. If
war ning devic es ar e locate d on a differ ent level of the residenc e or pr emise, then it is less likely tha t the oc cupants will be aler ted or awa kened.
Audible war ning de vices may be inter fer ed with by othe r noise source s suc h a s ster eos, ra dios, televisions, air c onditioners, other a ppliance s, or
passing tr affic . A udible wa rning device s, how ever loud, may not be he ard by a hear ing-impaired pe rson.
