[. . . ] Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External fac tors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system. Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. [. . . ]
