Industry Canada 
NOTICE: The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the 
equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as 
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department 
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. 
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities 
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable 
method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not 
prevent degradation of service in some situations. 
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any 
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the 
telecommunications company to request the user to disconnect the equipment. 
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, 
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together, This precaution 
may be particularly important in rural areas. 
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves but should contact appropriate 
electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. 
Ringer Equivalence Number Notice: 
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the 
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.  The termination on an 
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the 
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS 
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the 
RJ31X (CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer 
demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone 
connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the 
regular phone works correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone 
lines, the control/communicator has a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection 
of the control/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they 
have a problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or 
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an 
authorized service agency for all repairs.

WARNING!   
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM 
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or 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 power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC 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 in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or 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 upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations 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. 
  Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those 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 protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.   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 conditioner or other appliance, 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 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 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 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. 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.
