WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with

system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the

attention of the users of this system.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are

circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies

where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be com-

promised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.

Some but not all of these reasons may be:

■ ■

■ Inadequate Installation

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protec-

tion. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure

that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and

doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings

and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to

provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and

after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department

is highly recommended if this service is available.

■ ■

■ Criminal Knowledge

This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the

time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop

techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a

security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effec-

tive and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the

protection expected.

■ ■

■ Access by Intruders

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sens-

ing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient cover-

age, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper

operation of the system.

■ ■

■ Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security de-

vices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates

from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not

failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device

operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that de-

vice inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length

are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equip-

ment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immedi-

ately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as in-

tended.

■ ■

■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of

battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the

device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity,

high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the ex-

pected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which

identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate

as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good oper-

ating condition.

■ ■

■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could in-

clude metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming

or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

■ ■

■ System Users

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to

permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time,

or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be

trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to

respond when the system indicates an alarm.

■ ■

■ Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a

fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have

been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke

detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of

closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of

the residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burn-

ing. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detec-

tors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety

hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper

storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing

with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances

when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to

avoid injury or death.

■ ■

■ Motion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown

in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between

intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric

area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be

detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect

motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass parti-

tions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or

unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the

lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair

its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature.

However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises

near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources

of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,

radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

■ ■

■ Warning Devices

Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or

waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning de-

vices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less

likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices

may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions,

air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices,

however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

■ ■

■ Telephone Lines

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for

certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its opera-

tion by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.

■ ■

■ Insufficient Time

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the

occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to re-

spond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response

may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

■ ■

■ Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the

system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

■ ■

■ Inadequate Testing

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended

can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be

tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a

storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or

outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads,

consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part

of the system.

■ ■

■ Security and Insurance

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property

or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners,

renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful

effects of an emergency situation.
