PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include 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 Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines). EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States.

Press and hold the programmed Paging Key for at least 2 seconds (wait for beep), then press the pager number* (1-4) representing the pager intended to receive the message. The recipient, on seeing the 999­9999 message, will understand the prearranged meaning of this signal. * If no number is pressed, the message is sent to pager 1. Alpha Display: DISARMED READY TO ARM Fixed-Word Display: READY 999-9999 Pager Display Latch Key Paging You can program a schedule that causes a pager report to be sent if the system is not DISARMED by the scheduled time (see Scheduling section, event "03").

[. . . ] 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.
