IMPORTANT INFORMATIONIMPORTANT! PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTIONFor proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This wouldinclude any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the CentralMonitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTIONEarly warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in theUnited States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained inthe National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found later in thisdocument.National Fire Protection Association Recommendations on Smoke DetectorsWith regard to the number and placement of smoke/heatdetectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in theNational Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code(NFPA 72).Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation offire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the Premises orhousehold as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of eachseparate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedroomsand on each additional story of the family living unit, includingbasements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smokedetectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen,hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,basements and attached garages.DININGKITCHEN BEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMLIVING ROOM BEDROOMBDRMDININGLIVING ROOMTV ROOM KITCHENBEDROOM BEDROOMTOBRLVNG RMBASEMENTKTCHN.

The following steps are recommended by the National FireProtection Association:1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants.2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from thebuilding. The other may be a window, should your path be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is along drop to the ground.3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routesfor each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room.4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam thedoor if smoke or heat rushes in.6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is nearthe floor.7. Escape quickly. Do not panic.8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from the premises, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contactthe authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the premises — many die goingback.
