WARNING

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

White this system is an advanced design security system, it does nol offer guaranteed protection against

burglary, fire or other emergency. An alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to

compromise or failure to warn for a number of reasons. For example:

● Intruders may gain access through unprotectedopenings or have the technical sophisticationto bypass an

alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

c Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will

not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if

the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is

cut off for any reason, however briefly.

● Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm

receiver. Even if the signal path has

been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal

object is moved into the path.

● A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency buttonquicklyenough.

● While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they

may not act”wateor provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35°% of all fires, according

to data publishedby the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in

conjunction with this System

may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly

installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the

detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doore. Smoke detectors also

may not sense a fire on another fevel of a residence or buitding.A second floor detector, for exampte, may not

sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector

can sense every kind of

fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by

carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,escaping gas, improper storage or

flammable matenkds, overloaded electrical

circuits, children playing with matches, or areon. Depending on the

nature of the fire andor the location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as antidpatetf,

may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants

to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

● Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusionwithin the designed ranges as diagmmmed in

their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do

not provide volumetric area protection. They do create

multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areaa covered by the beams.

They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doore, glass

partitions, glass doora, or windows.

Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on

the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce tt,eir detection ability. Passive Infrared

Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected

area

approaches the temperature range of 90° to 150’F, the detection performance can decrease.

. Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up steepere who are

located on the other side of

a closed or partty open doors. If warning device sound on a different level of the

residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even

persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffle by noise from

a stereo, air conditioner

or other appliances, or by passing traffic. Finally,

alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn

hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.

Tetephone fines needed to tranemit alarm signals from a premises to a centml monitoringstation may be out

of service or temporarily out of sewice. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated

intruders.

● Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficienttime

to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may

not respond appropriately.

. This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is

designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic componentscould fail at any time.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioningwhen an intrusionor fire occurs is inadequate

maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors are workhg property.

Installing an alarm system may make one eligibfe for

lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a

substitute for insurance. Homeowners, pro~rty OWnSfS$nd rentem ehoufd contin~ to =t p~dently in

protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and propNw.

We continue to develop new

and improved protectiondevices. Ueera of alarm systems owe It to themselves anc

their loved ones to learn about these
