About Your Security System
Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility and convenience.
To fully benefit from the features of your security system, you should read this manual and the Instruction Manual
provided with your system very carefully. Have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which
features have been activated on your system. All users of the system should be instructed on its use. Fill out the
System Information page in your Security System Instruction Manual and store it and the manual in a safe place
for future reference.
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring
station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all
conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your
security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on
the level of protection that has been provided and on system operation.
