(continued) WARNING! TNE LIMITATIONS OF TNIS ALARM SYSTEM

● Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other

side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices 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

muffled from a stereo, radio, air cmdkioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud,

may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.

c Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm si nals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or

7temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are a so subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

● Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves

from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.

● This equipment, like other electrical devices, is sub”ect to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as

“{long as 10 years, the electronic components could fal at any time.

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.

Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions.

Longevity of batteries

may be as much as 4 to 7 ears, depending on the environment, usa?e, and the specific wireless device

being used. External factors such as humidi ,. hig or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce

the actual battery life in a iven installation.

hls wireless

system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing

time to arrange a change o battety to maintain protection for that given point within the system.

Installing an alarm system may make one eli ible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not

a substitute for insurance.

fHomeowners, property owners and renters s ould 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
