Limitations of Alarm Systems It must be understood that while your Paradox alarm system is highly advanced and secure, it does not offer any guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency (fire and emergency options are only available on certain Paradox models). This is due to a number of reasons, including by not limited to inadequate or improper installation/positioning, sensor limitations, battery performance, wireless signal interruption, inadequate maintenance or the potential for the system or telephone lines to be compromised or circumvented.
Things You Need to Know About this Programming Guide Use this programming guide to record programmed settings for your Magellan or Spectra SP control panel. This programming guide should be used along with the Magellan and Spectra SP Reference & Installation Manual (available online), whenever installing or programming your Magellan or Spectra SP system.
