If telephone lines are out of service.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of
alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per
week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communica-
tions are all working correctly.
Although having an alarm system may make you eligible
for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substi-
tute for insurance.
WARNING!
Security system devices cannot compensate you for
the loss of life or property.

If you have any questions about your security system or if
you ever need service, please contact your security con-
sultant.

Planning for Emergencies

This section describes what you can do to plan ahead for
an emergency:

Emergency Planning

Your Floor Plan

Emergency Planning
Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should
develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency
situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency
plans to include the following:
Understand how to use your security system
Know the normal state of doors and windows; open,
closed, or locked.
Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to
the touch.
Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to
help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
Meet at a designated outdoor location.
Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if
there is a fire.
Notify the fire department from a neighbor's phone.
Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if
they hear sirens in the house.
If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not
enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor's
16
phone.
