Turning the System Off Without Canceling an Alarm

Follow these instructions if you wish to turn off the system and report an
alarm to Brink's.
1. Enter the building through a designated entry door.
The keypad's message window displays ALARM.
The siren is sounding and the ON light is lit.
2. Enter your user code.
The keypad beeps. Wait for Brink's to call. Be
prepared to give the Brink's operator your code word.
Do not use the telephone if you intend to cancel the
alarm. If your telephone line is busy, Brink's may
dispatch emergency personnel to your home, which
could result in a false alarm fine.

What to Do in an Actual Emergency

If the security system is sounding an alarm, and there is an actual emergency
in progress, do the following:
1. Leave the system on. If the emergency is a fire,
quickly notify the building's occupants and safely
evacuate the building.
2. Do not use the telephone, except to call 911. If you
do, Brink's personnel may not be able to contact
you. If you are trying to make a telephone call while
another alarm is triggered, the system will
disconnect your call to send the alarm signal. If this
continues, you may need to turn the system off to
use the telephone.
3. If this is a medical or police emergency, wait for
Brink's to call. Explain the emergency to the
operator. If you do not answer the telephone, Brink's
will try to contact the appropriate emergency agency,
unless you have given other instructions.
