Thissystem'swirelesstransmittershave been designed to provide severalyearsof batterylife under normalconditions. The expected batterylife is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditionssuch ashigh

humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuationsmayreduce the expected batterylife. While each transmitting device hasa low batterymonitor which identifieswhen the batteriesneed to be replaced, thismonitor

mayfailto operate asexpected. Regular testing and maintenance willkeep the system in good operating condition.

Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

Signalsmaynot reach the receiver under allcircumstanceswhich could include metalobjectsplaced on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signalinterference.

System Users

Auser maynot be able to operate a panicor emergencyswitch possiblydue to permanent or temporaryphysicaldisability, inabilityto reach the device in time, or unfamiliaritywith the correct operation. It is important that allsystem users

be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that theyknow how to respond when the system indicatesan alarm.

Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectorsthat are a part of thissystem maynot properlyalert occupantsof a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectorsmayhave been improperlyinstalled or positioned. Smoke maynot be able to

reach the smoke detectors, such aswhen the fire isin a chimney, wallsor roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectorsmaynot detect smoke from fireson another levelof the residence or building.

Everyfire isdifferent in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectorscannot sense alltypesof firesequallywell. Smoke detectorsmaynot provide timelywarning of firescaused bycarelessnessor safetyhaz-

ardssuch assmoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electricalcircuits, children playing with matchesor arson.

Even if the smoke detector operatesasintended, there maybe circumstanceswhen there isinsufficient warning to allow alloccupantsto escape in time to avoid injuryor death.

Motion Detectors

Motion detectorscan onlydetect motion within the designated areasasshown in their respective installation instructions. Theycannot discriminate between intrudersand intended occupants. Motion detectorsdo not provide volu-

metricarea protection. Theyhave multiple beamsof detection and motion can onlybe detected in unobstructed areascovered bythese beams. Theycannot detect motion which occursbehind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass

partitions, glassdoorsor windows. Anytype of tampering whether intentionalor unintentionalsuch asmasking, painting, or spraying of anymaterialon the lenses, mirrors, windowsor anyother part of the detection system willimpair its

proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectorsoperate bysensing changesin temperature. However their effectivenesscan be reduced when the ambient temperature risesnear or above bodytemperature or if there are intentionalor unin-

tentionalsourcesof heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sourcescould be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

Warning Devices

Warning devicessuch assirens, bells, horns, or strobesmaynot warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wallor door. If warning devicesare located on a different levelof the residence or premise, then it is less

likelythat the occupantswillbe alerted or awakened. Audible warning devicesmaybe interfered with byother noise sourcessuch asstereos, radios, televisions, air conditionersor other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning

devices, however loud, maynot be heard bya hearing-impaired person.

Telephone Lines

If telephone linesare used to transmit alarms, theymaybe out of service or busyfor certain periodsof time. Also an intruder maycut the telephone line or defeat itsoperation bymore sophisticated meanswhich maybe difficult to

detect.

Insufficient Time

There maybe circumstanceswhen the system willoperate asintended, yet the occupantswillnot be protected from the emergencydue to their inabilityto respond to the warningsin a timelymanner. If the system is monitored, the

response maynot occur in time to protect the occupantsor their belongings.

Component Failure

Although everyeffort hasbeen made to make thissystem asreliable aspossible, the system mayfailto function asintended due to the failure of a component.

Inadequate Testing

Most problemsthat would prevent an alarm system from operating asintended can be found byregular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weeklyand immediatelyafter a break-in, an attempted break-

in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or anykind of construction activityinside or outside the premises. The testing should include allsensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devicesand anyother operational

devicesthat are part of the system.

Security and Insurance

Regardlessof itscapabilities, an alarm system isnot a substitute for propertyor life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for propertyowners, renters, or other occupantsto act prudentlyto prevent or minimize the harmful

effectsof an emergencysituation.
