THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed
protection against burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether
commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety 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 solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason,
however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked 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 into the path.
• 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 35% of all fires, according to data published by 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 upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations 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 diagrammed 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 protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to
105°F, the detection performance 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 warning
devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less
likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other
appliance, 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 may be 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 and transmitters 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 continue 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.

Recommendations For Proper Protection

The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices
Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA)
Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a
smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each
additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of
smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally
recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors
in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room,
utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door
partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm
in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as
portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.
• Install smoke detectors at both ends if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters)
long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room
where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors
are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a
fire or an intrusion.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENTS
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized
by the Installation Instructions or User's Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to
a home or premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper
windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system. This will
ensure that alarm signals can be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the
telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if
connected to an alarm monitoring station).
