System Information

Phone Line Seizure
Your security system includes a telephone line
seizure feature. Your alarm company can
program your system to send reports over the
phone line to the central station. You cannot use
your phone when the system is sending reports
to the central station.
If the central station cannot receive reports, your
phone service might be unavailable for up to 20
minutes as the system tries to contact the
central station.
If your phone service is interrupted, your security
system cannot send reports to the central
station unless it has another way of sending
them.
Limitations
Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee
coverage against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All
security systems are subject to possible compromise or
failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not
limited to, the following:
If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of
people in remote areas of the building or in areas that
are frequently closed, they do not provide the intended
protection.
If intruders gain access through unprotected points of
entry, the system cannot detect their entrance.
If intruders have the technical means of bypassing or
disconnecting all or part of the system, they cannot be
detected.
If the AC power supply is off and the standby battery is
either missing or dead, detectors cannot detect intrusion.
Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys,
walls, or roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. They
cannot detect smoke or fire on a level of the building
different from the one on which they are located. Smoke
detectors might not be able to warn in time about fires
started by explosions, improper storage of flammables,
overloaded electrical circuits, or other types of hazardous
conditions.
If phone lines are out of service, reports from the
security system to the central station cannot be sent.
Phone lines are vulnerable to compromise by several
means.
Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are the most
common causes of alarm failure. To ensure that all
system components work correctly, test your system
regularly, and have it inspected according to local code
or law.
Although having a security system can make you eligible for
reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for
insurance. Warning devices cannot compensate you for loss
of life or property.

Fire Safety and Evacuation
Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most
fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in
their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from
burns. To help reduce this risk, use the following guidelines:
Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with
flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children
home alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are
some of the common causes of household fire.
Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this
system is to alert people by giving the earliest possible
warning of danger.
Install smoke detectors in all locations as identified by
local code or law.
Smoke detectors
on each level
Practice an escape plan. Because there might be very
little time between detection of a fire and the time it
becomes deadly, every family member must understand
how to quickly evacuate according to the plan.
Have a primary and alternate escape route. Because
stairwells and hallways could be blocked during a fire,
exiting through a bedroom window must be part of the
escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground
floor, install a means of safely descending outside the
building if one does not already exist.
Arrange to meet at a location away from the house, such
as a neighbor's house, so you know that everyone is
accounted for.
If the alarm was accidentally sounded, silence the bell,
reset the detectors, and immediately notify your alarm
company that there is no emergency situation.
