WARNING!

THE LIMITATIONS

OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

VMlethis System is an advanced design security system, if does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary,

re or other emergency, Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to comprotiss or failu-

) warn for a variety of reasom. For example:

intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an

slam sensor or dsmnnacf an slam warning @vice.

Intrusion detectors (e.g., pas~ve infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and mny other sensing devices will not

work without power. Battery-operated devices will not wok without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the

batteries are not put in pro~dy. Devices

~wered solely by AC will not wok if their AC power supply is cut off

for any reason,

however briefly.

Signals serif by tireless transmitters maybe b~ad 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 info the path.

A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergewy button quick~ enough.

While smoke detectors have played a key role in rsduting residential fire deaths in the United States, they may

not activate or provide eafly warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35Y. of all fires, amrding to data

pubhshed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in

mnjuncfion Wth this System may mt work are as folbws. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed

and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fhes that stad where smoke canmt reach the detectors, such

as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detedors 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. Finally, smke detectors have sensing imitations. No smoke detector can sense every fdnd

of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety

hazards hke smoking in bed, Wolent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials,

overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature of the fire

andor location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide

suffiaent warning to allow all apants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as @agrammed in th=:

installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do creai<

muffiple beame of protection, and intmsion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by the

beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes

place behind walls, ceifings, floors, closed doo~

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 abihty. Passive Infrared

Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area

approaches the temperature ran9e of gOOto 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection psrfomance 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 wami~ devices are hated on a tifferent level of

the residence fmm the bedrooms, then they are less hkely to waken or alert 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 apphame, or by passing trafic. finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn

hearing-impaired paoDle.

Telephone-fines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station maybe out of

service or temporarily out of service. Telephone tines are also subject to mmpromise by sophisticated

intruders.

Even if the system responds to the emergency as intetied, however, occupants may have insuffiaent time to

protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not

respond appropriately.

This equipment, kke other

electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is

designed to last as bng as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

he most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intwsion or fire occurs is inadequate

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

ecurity console (and remote keypad) should be tested as well.

lstalhng an alarm system may make the owner ehgible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a

ubsfitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in

rotecting themselves and continue to

insure their Kves and property.

/e continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves : ~

Ieir loved ones to learn about these developments.
