Testing the System 
System Test 
We recommend that you test your system once a week using the 
following procedure: 
 
If your system is monitored, contact your central station before you perform this 
test. 
1.  Arm your security system. 
2.  Wait until your exit time is over and then activate the system by 
opening a protected zone (for example, a window or door). 
3.  Confirm that the alarm sounding device (bell or siren) sounds.  If 
your system is connected to a central station, the keypad sounds 
the ringback tone to confirm that the signal was received. 
4.  Disarm the security system. 
5.  Call the central station to tell them you are finished testing. 
Battery Test 
We recommend that you test your battery once a month.  To test your 
backup/standby battery, follow this procedure. 
1.  Remove main power from the system. 
2.  Observe that the AC indicator light on the keypad goes off. 
3.  Activate your alarm by performing the above SYSTEM TEST.   
Remember to contact your central station if your system is 
monitored. 
4.  Restore main power to the security system. 
If you have any further questions about the operation of your system, 
please contact your alarm company.

Recommendations on Smoke Detectors 
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we 
subscribe to the recommendations contained in  the National Fire 
Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below. 
 
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire 
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as 
follows:  A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping 
area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional 
story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding 
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. 
 
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke 
detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, 
hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements, 
and attached garages.

 Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of 
fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire 
Protection 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 o
f 
escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from 
the building.  The other is an alternative route, such as 
through a window, should your normal escape path be 
unpassable.  Station an escape ladder at such windows if 
there is a long 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 routes for 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 the door shut 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 near the floor. 
7.  Escape quickly; don’t panic. 
8.  Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your 
house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to 
contact the authorities and account for those missing.  
Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house 
— many die going back.

System Limitations 
While this system is an advanced-design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection 
against burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or 
residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.  For example: 
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication 
to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. 
• Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing 
devices will not work without batteries or if the batteries are not put in properly.  Devices 
powered solely by a main power supply will not work if their main power supply is cut off for 
any reason, however briefly. 
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach 
the alarm receiver.  Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, 
blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path. 
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. 
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths, they may 
not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35 percent of all 
fires.  Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with the system may not work 
are as follows:  Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the 
detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors.  Smoke 
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building.  A second-floor 
detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.  Moreover, smoke detectors 
have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time.  In 
general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards 
like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable 
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.  Depending 
on the nature of the fire and/or the location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it 
operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in 
time to prevent injury or death. 
• A passive infrared motion detector can detect intrusion only within the designed ranges as 
diagrammed in its installation manual.  Passive infrared detectors do not provide volumetric 
area protection.  They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can be detected 
only in unobstructed areas covered by the beams.  They cannot detect motion or intrusion that 
takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or 
windows.  Mechanical tampering, masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the 
mirrors, windows, or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability.  Passive 
infrared detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the 
protected area approaches the temperature range of 90º to 104º Fahrenheit (32º to 40º 
Celsius), the detection performance can decrease.

System Limitations (cont’d) 
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, or horns may not alert people or wake up 
sleepers who 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 by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner, other 
appliances, or by passing traffic.  Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn 
hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers. 
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring 
station may be out of service.  Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated 
intruders. 
• However, even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, occupants may have 
insufficient time 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 equipment is designed to last as long as 20 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 
are working properly. 
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.

Glossary 
AC/LB LED:  Yellow LED that, when lit, indicates the system is running on 
electricity; when not lit, indicates the system is running on the backup 
battery. 
ALARM:  Sound from keypad or other horn/siren indicates a burglar alarm, 
fire alarm, or other condition you should be alerted to. 
ARM LED:  Red LED in the upper portion of the keypad.  When lit, some 
part of the burglar alarm system is armed; when not lit, the burglary portion 
of the system is disarmed. 
ARM-STAY:  A system setting that arm the perimeter protection of the 
building but allows movement throughout the inside.  
ARMED/DISARMED:  These terms refer to the burglary portion of your 
security system. There are several operation levels that allow you to protect 
part of your premises while you remain inside.  Fire and other emergency and 
environmental sensors are always active and ready, and are not affected in 
any way by arming or disarming the burglary portion of your security system. 
AWAY:  A system setting that protects the premises while it is unoccupied. 
All burglary sensors are active. 
BURGLARY/FIRE:  The two major functions of a security system.  Fire 
protection is always armed and cannot be disarmed.  The burglary sensors 
protect against unauthorized entry into your premises.  The burglary 
protection can be armed and disarmed and programmed for special levels of 
access and notification. 
BYPASS FEATURE:  The Bypass feature allows you to exclude a selected 
zone or zones from the burglar alarm protection.  
BYPASS KEY:  Keypad key used to activate the Bypass feature. 
CENTRAL STATION:  Signal monitoring center contacted by your security 
system over the telephone and/or other communication channels when 
alarms are activated if your system is programmed to communicate alarms 
off site.  The central station will follow their procedures and your instructions 
for contacting the proper authorities when a signal is received.

Glossary (cont’d) 
CHIME FEATURE:  An optional feature that causes the keypad to chime for 
1 second when selected doors are opened when the burglary protection is off 
or disarmed.  Once programmed by your installer, you can turn Chime on and 
off by pressing [#], [6]. 
DURESS:  Duress is a system feature that you may have programmed into 
your system.  If someone should force you to disarm your system, you would 
use the special Duress User Code.  This code disarms the system and sends a 
silent duress emergency signal to the central station so personnel can 
respond appropriately.  
ENTRY DELAY:  The period of time allowed between opening a designated 
entry/exit door and disarming the alarm system before the system registers 
an alarm condition.  This time is determined at the time of installation.  Your 
system supports two entry times, allowing you to have a different length of 
time for different doors. 
EXIT DELAY:  The period of time allowed between arming the system and 
leaving through a designated exit/entry door.  This is determined at the time 
of installation. 
INTERIOR ZONE:  A group of points that protects the interior of your 
premises.  You may want to arm the perimeter portion of your system while 
leaving the interior zones disarmed, allowing you to move freely inside, 
opening interior doors and passing by motion detectors without causing an 
alarm. 
KEYPAD:  A keypad is your link to your system.  It displays alarm and 
trouble messages, shows faulted zones, and allows you to arm and disarm the 
system by using the keys.  Your system has one or more keypads.
