WARNING

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or

other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a

number 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 soley by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however

briefly.

● A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.

● While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not

activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as

ss~o of all fires, according to data published the

Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this system

may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors

may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls , or roofs, or on

the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A

second floor detector , for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have

sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always

warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,

improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.

Depending on the nature of the fire and/or the location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as

anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

● Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagramed 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 the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit,

the detection performance can decrease.

● Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers who are located on the

other side of a closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the

bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alerl people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may

not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliances, or by

passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep

sleepers

● Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station maybe out of service

or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

● Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect

themselves from the emergency 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 or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.

This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors are working properly.

Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for

insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and

cuntinue 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

loved ones to learn about these developments.
