WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (continued)

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily

out of service. Telephone lines are also 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 subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long

as 10 years, the electronic components could fail 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 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 one eligible for lower insurance rates, 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.
