WARNING
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
(Continued)
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate
maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are
working properly. The security keypad (and remote keypad) should be tested as well.
Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating
conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and
the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as
large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless
system, however, can identify a true low-battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery
to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is
not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in
protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and
their loved ones to learn about these developments.
