– 77 –WARNING!THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM(continued)• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they arelocated on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level ofthe 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, airconditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, maynot warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may beout of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise bysophisticated 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 equipmentis 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 inadequatemaintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters areworking properly.Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not asubstitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently inprotecting 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 themselvesand their loved ones to learn about these developments.Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com
